I do think we should have the names on it. The reason for this is that that way anyone knows who's responsible for it and who can be legally charged for any misbehaviours on the issuer side.

If we do make a CA, I'd heavily prefer that we don't have names of other organizations on it (ex: BoltN, ModernTLD). It also needs to be something that the majority of active users on the ML approve of, and not just 8-12 people.

There's two CAs which would be interested in getting some like official status or something like that: Us (BoltN OpenNIC CA R1 and R2 for DV, OV and EV (EV on a browser we plan to release soon which will make using OpenNIC easier)) and ModernTLD (ModernTLD CA X2 (DV and OV as well as EV (with EV cross-signed by BoltN OpenNIC CA R1)).

So CAs are there. They might not be ready yet but will come.

For the browser however I need guidelines on which requirements CAs have to fullfil to become trusted for it.

There is no known CA that supports OpenNIC. We have discussed it quite
a bit over the last couple of years but due to the complexity of
creating an entire CA no one has gone through with doing so. There is
interest in one by some members, at least.
