RE: Qualified Certificates draft - Country name

[tgindin@xxxxxxxxxx]

     If the major reason for DN's without country names is to allow
international organizations to avoid specifying a home country, one could
define a country code (probably "00") to mean that the organization
specified is international.  This is approximately what X.400 did with the
Administrative Management Domain field, which was originally mandatory.  If
corporations are to be permitted to declare themselves trans-national for
directory purposes (although very possibly they should not), they would get
a different numeric country code.
