TurkTrust: Failure to respond to January 2018 CA Communication survey
This case concerns TurkTrust’s failure to respond to a January 2018 Mozilla CA Communication survey by the February 9 deadline. The survey requested information including why TurkTrust did not respond, confirmation that the CA email alias in CCADB was correct, an explanation of why monitoring of the mozilla.dev.security.policy list did not result in a timely response, and what changes would ensure future actions are handled promptly. TurkTrust later provided answers explaining that a strategic reorganization and suspension of SSL activities contributed to the delayed response, and it confirmed the CCADB email alias. TurkTrust stated it would monitor the mozilla.dev.security.policy list and follow Mozilla policies to ensure future deadlines are met. In the thread, discussion on mozilla.dev.security.policy reached agreement that the TurkTrust root should be removed, and a related bug was filed to remove the TÜRKTRUST Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Sağlayıcısı H5 root cert. The bug is marked RESOLVED with resolution FIXED.
