AI Summary

This case is a Mozilla root inclusion request for the GoDaddy R1 Root CA and the Starfield R1 Root CA. GoDaddy opened the bug and provided a CCADB Mozilla Root Inclusion Case Information link plus PEM attachments for both roots. Mozilla later posted a detailed root store review of the Starfield/GoDaddy CP/CPS as part of the inclusion review process, explicitly stating that the comments were intended to improve clarity, accuracy, and transparency and were not a compliance or enforcement finding. GoDaddy then acknowledged the feedback and said it was working through CP/CPS updates accordingly. The thread does not state any approval, rejection, or final resolution, and the bug remains assigned to Ben Wilson at Mozilla.
