== Schedule for CA evaluations ==
#REDIRECT [[CA/Dashboard]]
 
''Note that this schedule is tentative and may change without warning based on unforeseen circumstances. Nothing in this schedule shall be construed as a commitment by the Mozilla Foundation or the Mozilla project in general.''
 
=== General timeline ===
 
Our process for evaluating CA requests is as follows:
# We assign CAs into different groups according to the general priority of processing their requests, and then assign each CA a specific target date for beginning public discussion of their request(s).
# Prior to the target date for a CA we gather any needed information from the CA; if for some reason we cannot obtain the needed information then we will postpone consideration of the CA and schedule some other CA for that target date.
# Once a CA enters the public discussion period we allow one week for public comment on the CA's request, after which we will make a preliminary determination as to whether the request should be approved or not.
# If a request receives preliminary approval then we have a second one-week comment period prior to final approval.
# If a request receives final approval then we will file bugs against the appropriate developer(s) to have the necessary changes made to NSS (for CA root inclusion) or PSM (for EV-enabling a CA) or both.
# If a request does not receive preliminary or final approval then it will be put back in the queue and reassigned a new target date.
 
Once bugs are filed against NSS and/or PSM the schedule is set first by the NSS/PSM developer(s) (for making the technical changes) and then by the product teams for Firefox and other products (to include the new changes in a release of Firefox, etc.)
 
=== Priority groups ===
 
CAs are assigned priorities based on the following factors, among others:
* length of time the CA has been in the queue
* whether information gathering for the CA has been completed
* whether the request is for EV status or not
* market share of the CA
* size and importance of the CA's geographic market
* for government CAs, whether the government is national or regional
 
The following CAs will likely have higher priority in the schedule; note that the CAs are listed in alphabetical order:
* Chunghwa Telecom eCA (much older request than bug number indicates)
* DCSSI (national CA)
* FNMT (national CA)
* ICP-Brasil (national CA)
* KISA (national CA)
* SECOM Trust (important commercial CA in its region)
* T-Systems (already in process, need to re-start public discussion)
* WISeKey (already in process, need to re-start public discussion)
 
The following CA requests will likely have lower priority in the schedule; again these are listed in alphabetical order:
* ACCV (regional government CA)
* CATCert (regional government CA)
* Comodo (401587) (EV request for legacy roots, not clear if this is actually needed)
* Izenpe (regional government CA)
* Trustis (waiting on ETSI audit)
* VeriSign/GeoTrust/thawte (420760) (EV request for legacy roots, not clear if this is actually needed)
 
=== Target schedule ===
 
The current tentative schedule is predicated on our starting public discussion for one new CA each week; this may be modified as we gain more experience with the schedule.
 
The following CAs are tentatively scheduled:
