2.4 TTP rollout for Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is considered a "desert" as per TTP Assisted Assurance Policy section 4.2, but it's a territory of the US with the same legal system. Because Notary Public is an already approved type of TTP for the US, AO seeks Board approval to extend the same regime to Puerto Rico.

List of approved TTP types by country is kept at https://wiki.cacert.org/TTP/TTPAL (the link in TTP-AAP 4.2 is dead and should be fixed).

Motion m20130120.2 to accept Notary Public as the only allowed TTP for Puerto Rico CARRIED.

The patch in question should be ready in two weeks, another one to record CCA acceptance on certificate creation/renewal should follow within six months. Discussion ensued whether to announce both in one go and when exactly to send the newsletter out.
