This ballot clarifies that CAs shall use the revocationDate to denote when a certificate first became invalid even if that time precedes issuance of the latest CRL. Additionally, this ballot clarifies that if the CA is becomes aware of a more appropriate revocation date for a revoked Code Signing Certificate, then the CA may include this date in subsequently issued CRLs and OCSP responses pertaining to that revoked Code Signing Certificate.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell of DigiCert and endorsed by Rob Stradling of Sectigo and Bruce Morton of Entrust.<o:p></o:p></p><h2>MOTION BEGINS<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal>This ballot updates the <span lang=JA style='font-family:"Yu Gothic",sans-serif'>$B!H(J</span>Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly<span lang=JA style='font-family:"Yu Gothic",sans-serif'>$B!>(J</span>Trusted Code Signing Certificates$B!I(J version 2.5 according to the attached redline which includes:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Add the effective date of the CRL profile change in section 1.3.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Modification of the third paragraph of section 13.2.1.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Addition of two paragraphs after the third paragraph of section 13.2.1.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast style='margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Add explanatory footnote to the bottom of the last page of section 13.2.1.<o:p></o:p></li></ul><h2>MOTION ENDS<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Discussion (7+ days) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Start Time: 2021-10-19 14:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>End Time: not before 2021-10-26 14:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Vote for approval (7 days) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Start Time: TBD<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>End Time: TBD<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
