Re: amsl.com certificate?

AMS obtains certificates for their clients from Starfield 
Technologies:

    <http://www.starfieldtech.com/>

Do you have a concern about this choice or is your concern about 
the fact that your browser didn't accept the certificate by default?

If you have a concern about this choice it would help if you could 
be specific about what that is.  Their web site seems pretty 
complete to me so any one of us could "check them out."  I think we 
need to trust AMS to make a good choice unless we can identify an 
issue.

As far your browser not accepting the certificate, I'm sure you 
realize there a lot of reasons that could happen including the 
latest version of Safari "missing" a particular root certificate.

I just registered for IETF-71 and tried to pay. I wasn't bothered
too   much when I got an SSL warning for the former, but I
hesitate to   proceed with the latter, which is also under the
amsl.com domain.

My browser (the latest version of Safari on the Mac) complains
that   the issuer of the certificate is untrusted. That would be
Starfield   Secure Certification Authority.

Is this a CA in good standing that we should trust?
