I just registered for IETF-71 and tried to pay. I wasn't bothered too

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?

So, what puzzles me here is:
Why is this going to amsl.com at all? It seems extremely
desirable to have a set of names and credentials that point
only to *ietf.org, both to keep interfaces consistent and
to avoid issues with referential integrity in future
transitions.
