ipsCA request to add ipsCA Global and ipsCA Main root certificates

This case is a request from ipsCA to add two new root certificates, ipsCA Main Root and ipsCA Global Root, to Mozilla’s trusted store. The bug was opened by Juan Carlos Pascual of ipsCA on 2009-11-17 and included the root certificate details, fingerprints, validity dates, and example certificate information. Mozilla’s Kathleen Wilson began the information gathering and verification phase and posted an Initial Information Gathering Document noting that further information or clarification was needed. The thread later states that the request remained blocked because a representative of ipsCA had not responded with the requested information, and the bug was eventually closed after more than a year without further CA input. The final comments say that if ipsCA wishes to proceed, it must open a new bug or re-open this one and provide the full information checklist.
