Subject: Duplicate Organization Attribute in EC-US and IPC Profiles



The IPC profile and the EC-US profile both define an organization subject
attribute, apparently for the same purpose, but with different identifiers.
A conformant implementation or deployment supporting both profiles
simultaneously would be obliged to redundantly provide a subject's
organization in both of these attributes.

Furthermore, the EC-US profile says in section 5.1 that policies and
requests "SHALL NOT use any other identifiers for the purposes defined
by attributes in this profile" which means that the IPC profile is
technically in violation of the conformance criteria for the EC-US
profile.

I suggest that one of these profiles (I don't care which) defines the
organization attribute and the other profile references that definition,
or that both profiles define the attribute using the same identifier
(and ideally, acknowledge that the other profile contains an identical
definition).

Regards,
Steven
