<p class="line867"><strong>Ballot 133 - Insurance Requirements
for EV Issuers</strong> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">The following motion has been proposed by Ben
Wilson of Digicert and endorsed by Atilla Biler of Turktrust
and Dean Coclin of Symantec.<b><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="line874"><b>Purpose <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="line874">The purpose of this ballot is to simplify the
insurance requirements in section 8.4 of the EV Guidelines by
replacing commercial general liability in (A) with an ordinary
property casualty insurance requirement and to simplify third
party liability coverage in (B) and reduce the required amount
of that coverage down to $3 million. This should make it
easier for CAs to obtain insurance required by the EV
Guidelines. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874"><b>-- MOTION BEGINS -- <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="line874">1. Amend the second paragraph of Section 8.1
as follows: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line862">If a court or government body with
jurisdiction over the activities covered by these Guidelines
determines that the performance of any mandatory requirement
is illegal <span class="u"><u>or would conflict with local
law</u></span>, then such requirement is considered
reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make the
requirement valid and legal. This applies only to operations<span
class="u">,</span> <span class="strike"><s>or</s></span><s>
</s>certificate issuances, <span class="u"><u>or insurance
requirements</u></span><u> </u>that are subject to the
laws of that jurisdiction. The parties involved SHALL notify
the CA / Browser Forum of the facts, circumstances, and law(s)
involved, so that the CA/Browser Forum may revise these
Guidelines accordingly. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">2. Amend Section 8.4 as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
