I don't think you're being fair toward Mozilla. They had a meeting with Symantec and reported on it; there were no details because Symantec is going to soon publish everything. They probably had the meeting only because Gerv was in the area. Mozilla have been transparent the whole time.

Google's approach is clearly different to that of Mozilla, but IIRC they have never pledged transparency. They're a commercial entity and they're doing what they think is right and/or is in their interests.

I can understand how my comment might have come off as somewhat judgmental (to either side) but that was not my intention. The idea was to [without derailing the thread too much] give people interested in certificate issues a relatively quick summary on what has happened and my concern about it.

I wonder if "senior executives" at Google are really involved.

There is discussion on the Chromium blink-dev list: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/topic/blink-dev/e...
