All,

I re-based the importEVG branch to the latest CSBR (3.7.0). You can see 
the ballot redline in https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/pull/38. 
Feel free to start a review within the PR or reply to this thread with 
comments.

Importing the EV Guidelines into the CSBRs ballot requires time to 
review so I plan to give at least 2 weeks discussion period for Members 
to check before starting the voting period.

I have one remaining task which is to import the changes introduced by 
Ballot SC68 <https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/478>. Other 
than that, we should be good to go. I would like to ask for 2 endorsers 
to reserve a ballot number.


Thank you,
Dimitris.
