 The main phases involved in including a root certificate in Mozilla products are:
-# Creation and submission of the CA root certificate inclusion request
+# The CA files a bug to request inclusion of their root certificate.
-# Information verification
+# A representative of Mozilla verifies the information provided by the CA.
-# Public discussion
+# A representative of Mozilla conducts a public discussion of the request in the mozilla.dev.security.policy discussion forum.
-# Decision on inclusion
+# A module owner or peer posts their recommendation for approval, denial, or further work in the bug.
-# Code change for inclusion and associated testing
+# 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 and the CA performs the testing.
+# Future releases of Mozilla products include the new version of NSS.
