## What Jamie wrote

Another great milestone for Let's Encrypt as they continue their mission to make the Internet more secure for everyone. 

> Now, those software platforms have trusted our root certificate for years. And the DST Root X3 root certificate that we relied on to get us off the ground is going to expire - on September 1, 2021. Fortunately, we’re ready to stand on our own, and rely solely on our own root certificate.
