Vince,

Thanks for your application.  Nearly everything looks to be in order,
except for one item from the XenProject Security Policy:

"Your invitation to members of the public, who discover security
problems with your products/services, to report them in confidence to you"

The policy says that the invitation must be to "members of the public",
not customers.  This means that there must at least an invitation on
some publicly accessible web page; so you do not (yet) meet the criteria.

You might consider, for instance, adding a section to
https://www.hostpapa.com/about-hostpapa/ about reporting security problems.

Hope to hear from you again soon.

Thanks,

-George Dunlap
 on behalf of the XenProject Security Team
