Well, according to "GlobalSign Subscriber Agreement for SureServer EDU
Secure Server Certificates" (via
<http://www.ja.net/services/scs/index.html>), "Upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Customer's Digital Certificate shall be
revoked by GlobalSign in accordance with GlobalSign's procedures then in
effect. Upon revocation of Customer's Digital Certificate for any
reason, all authority granted to Customer pursuant to Section 2 [to use
the Digital Certificate] shall terminate." However, this agreement is
between GlobalSign and the organisation receiving the Digital
Certificate. I don't know to what extent it inherits terms from whatever
agreement is in place between GlobalSign and Janet, to know whether
Caleb's report and the published agreement can be reconciled.
