→BR Self-Assessment: Reworded to mention the MRSP and the EVGs
= BR Compliance Self-Assessment =
CAs with root certificates that have the websites trust bit set are required to perform self-assessments at various times to ensure that their CP and CPS documents and their practices continue to comply with the [https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-documents/ CA/Browser Forum's Baseline Requirements] (BRs), Mozilla's Root Store Policy, and if applicable, the [https://cabforum.org/extended-validation/ EV Guidelines]. The preparation of this document reduces the load on the Mozilla administration team and makes it more likely the CA's request will be processed in a timely manner.
== Template ==
CAs with included root certificates that have the websites trust bit set must do an annual self-assessment of their compliance with the BRs using the above template, and must update their CP and CPS documents at least once every year. You should indicate that this has happened by incrementing the version number and adding a dated changelog entry, even if no other changes are made to the CP and CPS documents.
== BR Compliance Self-Assessment - Root Inclusion or Update ==
Mozilla's [[CA/Application_Process|root inclusion/update process]] has a [[CA/Application_Verification#Public_discussion|Public Discussion]] phase in which members of the community thoroughly review and discuss each CA's request.
Mozilla requires CAs to perform a side-by-side comparison of their CP and CPS documents to the BRs and Mozilla's Root Store Policy (and EV Guidelines, if applicable) using the above template, and attach their findings to their Bugzilla bug before their public discussion will be started. During the public discussion in the [https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-security-policy MDSP mailing list], members of the community will use the CA's self-assessment document to perform their own review, confirm the accuracy of the CA's self-assessment, ask questions, raise concerns, etc.
