<p class="line874">This ballot was discussed previously by the
EV Working Group and by the group in attendance at the
face-to-face in Eilat. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Assuming it is still in a format agreed to by
Cecilia, Jeremy and Kirk, then I propose that it go forward.
A redlined version in PDF is attached.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Cecilia Kam of Symantec made the following
motion and Jeremy Rowley of Digicert and Kirk Hall of Trend
Micro have endorsed it: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867"><strong>Reasons for proposed ballot</strong>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867">The EV Guidelines currently allow
verification of agency through the applicant's human resources
department by calling an independently verified telephone
number and verifying employment. This process does not always
work smoothly. Often employment verification is outsourced to
a third party service provider, or HR person refuses to answer
without taking specific procedural steps, and CA ends up
asking to speak with IT department or managers within
applicant's organization in order to obtain the needed
confirmation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">The proponents of this ballot believe that
the proposed modification to this method of confirmation
(contacting others within the applicant's organization, in
addition to HR) is sufficiently trustworthy. This would still
be performed by calling the applicant, at its publicly
recognized phone number, and verifying employment of the
applicant representative (Contract Signer or Certificate
Approver) with someone other than the individual about whom
the information is sought. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867"><strong>---MOTION BEGINS---</strong> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Subsection (2)(A) of section 11.7.2 of the
Extended Validation Guidelines (Acceptable Methods of
Verification - Name, Title and Agency) would be amended as
follows: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867"><strong>(2) Agency: </strong>The CA MAY
verify the agency of the Contract Signer and the Certificate
Approver by: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867">(A) Contacting the Applicant<strong>[STRIKE--'s
Human Resources Department]</strong> by phone or mail (at
the phone number or address for the Applicant<strong>[STRIKE--'s
Place of Business,]</strong> <span class="u">obtained and</span>
verified in accordance with<strong> [STRIKE--these Guidelines]</strong>
<span class="u">section 11.10.4</span>) and obtaining
confirmation that the Contract Signer and/or the Certificate
Approver, as applicable, is an employee; or <br>
. . . <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Replacing the parentheses with commas, the
resulting subsection 11.7.2(2) would read as follows: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">(2) Agency: The CA MAY verify the agency of
the Contract Signer and the Certificate Approver by: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">(A) Contacting the Applicant by phone or
mail, at the phone number or address for the Applicant,
obtained and verified in accordance with section 11.10.4, and
obtaining confirmation that the Contract Signer and/or the
Certificate Approver, as applicable, is an employee; or <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line867"><strong>---MOTION ENDS---</strong> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">The review period for this ballot shall
commence at 2200 UTC on Thursday, June 26, 2014, and will
close at 2200 UTC on Thursday, July 3, 2014. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Unless the motion is withdrawn during the
review period, the voting period will start immediately
thereafter and will close at 2200 UTC on Thursday, July 10,
2014. Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this
thread. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a
clear 'yes' in the response. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in
the response. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">A vote to abstain must indicate a clear
'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not be
counted. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">The latest vote received from any
representative of a voting member before the close of the
voting period will be counted. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line862">Voting members are listed here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://cabforum.org/members/">https://cabforum.org/members/</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">In order for the motion to be adopted, two
thirds or more of the votes cast by members in the CA category
and more than one half of the votes cast by members in the
browser category must be in favor. Quorum is currently six (6)
members– at least six members must participate in the ballot,
either by voting in favor, voting against, or by abstaining
for the vote to be valid. <o:p></o:p></p>
