<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In order to reconcile
the CA/Browser Forum's Bylaws with its current operational
practices, including the recognition of Associate Members
and the use of a single IPR Agreement with Interested
Parties and the absence of a Participation Agreement, the
following amendments should be made to the Bylaws:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">1. In the
first sentence of section 1.3, add “Associate Members” so
that the sentence reads, “Forum Members, Associate Members,
and Interested Parties must comply with the then-current IPR
policy and all applicable antitrust laws and regulations
during their Forum activities.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">2. Add a new
subsection 3.1 to Section 3 titled “Associate Members” (and
renumber subsequent subsections to subsections 3.2 and 3.3
accordingly) such that the new subsection 3.1 Associate
Members reads, "The Forum may enter into associate member
relationships with other organizations when the CA/Browser
Forum determines that maintaining such a relationship will
be of benefit to the work of the Forum. In the past,
entities qualifying as Associate Members have included the
AICPA/CICA WebTrust Task Force, the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute, Paypal, the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, tScheme, the
U.S. Federal PKI, and CAs applying for membership but
awaiting full qualification under Section 2.1.
Participation as an Associate Member is by invitation only.
In order to become an Associate Member, an organization must
sign a mutual letter of intent, understanding, or other
agreement and the Forum’s IPR Agreement, unless this latter
requirement is waived in writing by the Forum based on
overriding policies of the Associate Member’s own
organization IPR rules. Associate Members may attend
face-to-face meetings, communicate with Forum Members on
member lists, and access Forum wiki content. Associate
Members are not entitled to vote except on special straw
polls of the Forum (e.g. when selecting meeting dates,
locations, etc.)"
