<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>
