Remove a Root
#* Outline is presented, references to full bug provided
#* Deadline for discussion is set
#* [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/security-bugs-policy.html Security-sensitive] requests for root changes removals would be discussed primarily within the (closed) Mozilla security group. However others could be added to the discussion by explicitly cc-ing them on the bug.
# The Mozilla representative will summarize the discussion and communicate the decisions in the bug.
#* Decision about which Trust Bits whether or not to unsetremove the root certificate
#* Any other options or actions as decided
# Implementation
#* If the resulting decision is to remove or change the root certificate, the Mozilla representative will create a corresponding NSS bug to make the actual changes in NSS, and mark that bug as blocking the original change request.#* A Mozilla representative creates a test build of NSS with the change to the root certificate, and attaches nssckbi.dll to the bug. A representative of the CA or of Mozilla must download this, drop it into a copy of Firefox and/or Thunderbird and confirm (by adding a comment in the bug) that the certificate has been correctly changedor removed.
#* A Mozilla representative checks the changes into the NSS store, and marks the bug RESOLVED FIXED.
#* For security-sensitive bugs, the security update will proceed as described in [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/security-bugs-policy.html Mozilla's Policy for Handling Security Bugs]
