 Ahh, so you have not really answered the question :-) Well, based on your
 approach, there's no good answer, as it can be:
 1. June + grace period
 2. next Jan + grace period
 3. something else.
 Neither of these "reflect the allocaton's contract period".

I'm not convinced that it needs to reflect the contract period,
although issuing a certificate significantly longer than any contract
period with that customer would be silly.

I view certificate expiration primarily as a mechanism for limiting
the length of the CRL.


But isuing a cert with a validity interval that does not match the underlying contract creates yet another reason one may have to revoke the cert.
