AI Summary
WoSign opened this case in 2013 to request Mozilla inclusion of two root certificates: “Certification Authority of WoSign” and “CA 沃通根证书.” The request also asked Mozilla to turn on all three trust bits for both roots and enable EV treatment. Mozilla reviewed the submission through information gathering, public discussion, and audit follow-up, and WoSign provided updated root certificates, test websites, and audit materials over time. In May 2014, Mozilla approved inclusion of the two roots and said it would file the NSS and PSM bugs for the actual changes. The thread later includes follow-up discussion about audit coverage, BR compliance, and later WebTrust audit reports, but the inclusion request itself was approved.
