This CA has been assessed in accordance with the Mozilla project guidelines, and the certificates approved for inclusion in Bug #1201423. 

The next steps are as follows:
1) A representative of the CA must confirm that all the data in this bug is correct, and that the correct certificates have been attached.
2) A Mozilla representative creates a patch with the new certificates, and provides a special test version of Firefox.
3) A representative of the CA uses the test version of Firefox to confirm (by adding a comment in this bug) that the certificates have been correctly imported and that websites work correctly.
4) The Mozilla representative requests that another Mozilla representative review the patch.
5) The Mozilla representative adds (commits) the patch to NSS, then closes this bug as RESOLVED FIXED.
6) At some time after that, various Mozilla products will move to using a version of NSS which contains the certificates. This process is mostly under the control of the release drivers for those products.

I have verified that the bug description information is correct. I also verified that the attached two certificates are correct and correspond to the fingerprints mentioned in the bug description.

Thanks for confirming that the data in this bug is correct.

Root inclusions are usually grouped and done as a batch when there is either a large enough set of changes or about every 3 months.

At some point in the next 3 months a test build will be provided and this bug will be updated to request that you test it. Since you are cc'd on this bug, you will get notification via email when that happens.

The test build is available here:
https://ftp-ssl.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-021f86879b2677953a2c171707cf72dadd683c24/

I have tested on MacOS. I confirm that the requested certificates were added with the correct trust bits, and the test websites work as expected.

Dimitris, please use the test build to perform your testing this week, and comment in this bug when you have finished testing.

We have tested under various Windows/Linux/Mac platforms and we confirm that the new certificates are included with the website and email trust bits on.
