I'd just like to point out that an Open Community CA is different than an Open Source CA. The latter is obviously addressed by the OpenCA.org ini- tiative which, BTW, I don't know if it's getting any momentum at all. The first one implies that you have a CA where everyone can register and fetch a

ca2cert.cacert is not a valid CA: the extensions are wrong. When you sign the request for CA2 you need to use the correct CA extensions. Check out some of the stuff in docs/openssl.txt for some info. CAs and end user certificates have different extensions so end users can't pretend to be a CA.
