[cabfpub] Naming rules

[Rich Smith]

Ryan, Ben’s wording states that the registry is at the national level, so rather than talking about Jurisdiction A and B, the labels are correctly Country A and Country B, therefore even if every other field in the registries were the same the C field will always be unique to the particular registry, therefore the particular entries between the registries would be unique.  Am I missing something?

Jurisdiction A defines an independent directory tree (D1).

Jurisdiction B defines an independent directory tree (D2).

 

D1 uses the naming scheme defined by Jurisdiction A

D2 uses the naming scheme defined by Jurisdiction B.

 

Unless you know all of the laws regarding Jurisdiction A, B, C, ... Z, and can make an effective declaration that no jurisdiction exists that defines a directory tree (D0) that conflicts with either D1 or D2, then you cannot assert that D1 or D2 are unique.

Hi Ryan, can you give an example of 'cross-jurisdictional directory trees'?

 

Thanks,

Auditor examine it through the same government adopted registry.

 

In fact if government has a centralised register, there is a very little chance that the same data  catogories will be maintained in two different resources - duplication of responsibilitiies is prohibited by law.

 

Thanks,

Hi Moudrick,

 

I'm sorry, but it may not have been clear, I was talking about cross-jurisdictional directory trees. There's nothing that would ensure their unambiguous uniqueness here, and as proposed, two entities could have X.500 DITs that reflected both _their_ jurisdiction and, more importantly, how _their_ jurisdiction views other jurisdictions.

 

I believe you've misunderstood this to be about a single jurisdiction, but I was not talking about that. Auditors would have to be aware of all jurisdictions - and more importantly, all jurisdictional laws that apply or are relevant for CAs. This is much like the can of worms related to 9.16.3 in which some laws or registries only apply to specific participants.

 

So while your responses would be correct for a single jurisdiction, that's not the issue :)
