<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GoDaddy also sent a survey to our SSL customers on the topic of reduced lifetime certificates. Our survey focused on our customer base, the small business. Total response size was 2732. We have omitted customer comments as there were
too many to review for personal data prior to posting. <span style="font-size:11.0pt">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The biggest takeaway from this was a clear need to be able to effectively communicate with Subscribers why this change is occurring and what we can do to help them overcome any obstacles that may arise due to the increased manual labor
that is expected due to this change. If certificate lifetime becomes reduced, I would ask to partner with the browsers to develop some clear, simple statements that all CA’s can use to help communicate the benefits of this change to our ecosystem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
