--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Corey Bonnell <[email protected]>

Section: 5.2

Original Text
-------------
CAA authorizations are additive; thus, the result of specifying both
the empty issuer and a specified issuer is the same as specifying
just the specified issuer alone.

Corrected Text
--------------
CAA authorizations are additive; thus, the result of specifying both
the empty issuer and a specified issuer is the same as specifying
just the specified issuer alone.  A non-empty CAA record set that does
not contain an issue property tag is authorization to any certificate
issuer to issue for the corresponding domain, provided that no
records in the CAA record set otherwise prohibit issuance.

Notes
-----
The current wording in the RFC does not clearly state how non-empty CAA record sets which do not contain any "issue" property tags should be handled in terms of whether or not such record sets authorize issuance. The additional wording clarifies the correct handling of this case.

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
