We can ask to the ICE-TEL (ICE-CAR) project for a certificate as they have
alreay a place in the Netscape base cert directory (I think) and are the
European Research project about security/certificates/CAs/etc...

Another way of avoiding the problem is: before applying for a request, the
user is asked to import the certificate just before submitting data (required).
