 === How does a CA certificate get included in Mozilla products? ===
-For a high level description of the root inclusion process see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA
+Mozilla's root inclusion process is described here:
+https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Application_Process
-For details about how a CA may apply for root inclusion see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:How_to_apply
-The main phases involved in including a root certificate in Mozilla products are:
-# The CA files a bug to request inclusion of their root certificate.
-# A representative of Mozilla verifies the information provided by the CA.
-# A representative of Mozilla conducts a public discussion of the request in the mozilla.dev.security.policy discussion forum.
-# A Mozilla CA Certificates Module owner or peer posts their recommendation for approval, denial, or further work in the bug.
-# If appropriate, the module owner or peer approves the request, then files a bug against NSS for the actual changes.
-# A developer modifies the NSS code to include the root certificate, and the CA tests the change.
-# Future releases of Mozilla products include the new version of NSS.
 === What if I don't trust a particular CA? ===
