(Whiteboard: BR Compliance) 

In https://crt.sh/?id=17379743 you have a policy extention with a user notice explicitText.  This is using a VisibleString which is not allowed by RFC 5280.  It should use an UTF8String, but may use IA5String.

I would suggest removing the explictText.

Kurt, according to RFC 6818, which updates certain sections of RFC5280, “VisibleString or BMPString are acceptable but less preferred alternatives.”
The BR only points to rfc 5280, so maybe someone should suggest adding rfc 6818.

I knew 6818 changed something related to some of those but didn't look close enough yet.  I'll update x509lint for that, so feel free to close this.

But I'm still suggesting that you remove the explictText.
