The most recent CNA rules draft uses "provide" and "allocate" interchangeably, e.g.,

  • on p.7 it says "The Primary CNA provides blocks of IDs to Root CNAs, and Root CNAs provide blocks of IDs to Sub-CNAs."
  • on p.11 it says "Provide CVE ID blocks to Sub-CNAs from their CVE ID block."
  • on p.12 it says "Provide CVE ID blocks to Root CNAs."

whereas later (pp. 15 and 18) CVE IDs/blocks are "allocated".

For all us non-native speakers I suggest to only use "allocate" throughout the text

Also, the meaning of the verb "to vet" is unclear as used in Appendix E:

"As part of a CNA’s vulnerability management process, a CNA can choose whether they wish to vet any updates to CVE IDs that they assigned. The process for communicating those changes between CNAs and requesters will vary depending on the CNA. It is not a requirement that CNAs must vet changes to their CNA entries."

Please clarify and/or provide an example.

There's a word missing from p. 10, item no. 11: instead of

"A CNA must provide a URL to a list the products for which they accept..."

it should read

"A CNA must provide a URL to a list the of products for which they accept..."
