Greetings,
Public discussion regarding
inclusion of the
TWCA CYBER Root CA (websites trust bit with EV) and the
TWCA Global Root CA G2
(email trust bit) began on the CCADB Public List
on April 22, 2024 (https://groups.google.com/a/ccadb.org/g/public/c/rAsxoNILZ6A/m/vqn7iTHEAwAJ) and concluded recently (https://groups.google.com/a/ccadb.org/g/public/c/rAsxoNILZ6A/m/eapyrQcjBgAJ).
Additional details concerning this request may be found in the above-referenced discussions, in Bugzilla #1849702, and in CCADB Case Number 00001244.
The inclusion process is outlined here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Application_Process#Process_Overview. Additional information about application review may be found here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Application_Verification.
This is Mozilla's notice of intent to approve Taiwan CA’s root inclusion request.
This begins a 7-day “last call” period for any final objections.
Thanks,
Ben
Also, from that same bug:

Using a WebPKI certificate for client authentication seems...
particularly unwise. I know I'm not going to get it, but I'd *really*
like to hear what the rationale for doing that was.
