<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">This ballot proposes a comprehensive restructuring of the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements (NCSSRs), excepting Section 4. The current structure of the document has proven to be
challenging for creating ballots, contains duplicated requirements, and separates similar requirements across the document. These issues have led to inefficiencies in managing and implementing security standards. Therefore, this proposal aims to streamline
the document's structure, eliminate redundancies, improve comprehensibility, and enhance clarity and coherence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span lang="EN-US">Complexity in Ballot Creation</span></b><span lang="EN-US">: The current document structure can make it difficult to create and manage ballots efficiently, leading to somewhat awkward updating processes, abandoned ballots, and a lack of

<b><span lang="EN-US">Redundancy</span></b><span lang="EN-US">: Over time, some parts of the NCSSRs have touched on the same topic, leading to some duplication across the document and further to confusion and inconsistency in implementation.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">
