Summary0001432: since september, 8th, 2017 CAs must check DNS' CAA records
DescriptionDear Board,

since september, 8th, 2017 CAs must check DNS' CAA records. This decision was taken in spring 2017 by CA/Browser forum which CAcert is member of.

I can't see that this is already implemented in CAcert's signing software, therefore I would like to ask you to take care of.

.....
BR, Alex.

Mail from Benedict to Etienne:
<snip>
CAcert cannot be recorded as a full CA at the CABF, since it is not
according to WebTrust or ETSI 319 411. The CABF activities therefore only
affect CAcert if they will voluntarily submit to it. Working at CABF is
currently neither useful nor advisable due to the number of resources
available in CAcert.
