<p id="section-12.9-1">Merkle Tree Certificates' transparency properties only apply to certificates directly issued by the CA, not certification paths. The CA might issue a certificate that describes an unconstrained, subordinate, non-MTC CA. Certificates issued by the subordinate CA would not be visible in the MTC CA's issuance log and thus may not be visible to monitors. However, the certificate that enables this transparency bypass will still be visible in the issuance logs.<a href="#section-12.9-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
