Dear Members,

Apologies for sending this late. Here is the mapping document for the 
import of the EV Guidelines into the CS Baseline Requirements.

The process started from sections of the CSBRs that point to sections of 
the EV Guidelines. In some cases, the referenced EVG section, contained 
additional references within the EVG. The spreadsheet tried to capture 
and follow all those references to ensure we didn't miss anything.

I hope this document will help the review process so we can proceed with 
a ballot. Before we do the ballot, we will have to rebase to the latest 
CSBR version and resolve any conflicts that may be caused by the last 2 
ballots. My goal is to get this ready for a ballot after the next F2F 
meeting.


Thank you,
Dimitris.
