<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Certificate Policy Review Working Group was chartered by Ballot 128 to (i) consider existing and proposed
standards, (ii) create a list of potential improvements based on the considered standards that improve the existing CAB Forum work product, (iii) evaluate the transition to a 3647 format based on the amount [of work involved]. One deliverable of the CP Review
WG was to propose a ballot to improve CA infrastructure based on existing standards and documents and recommend whether to finish the 3647 conversion presented by Jeremy Rowley in January 2014.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The CP Review WG has met and concluded that the best path forward for the Forum is to complete a conversion to
the RFC 3647 for the Baseline Requirements with an initial step that merely moves existing content from the Baseline Requirements and the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements into the RFC 3647 format.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Attached is an RFC-3647-formatted Certificate Policy for Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management
of Publicly-Trusted Certificates. Comments embedded in the document contain either the source of the text (for content copied from the Baseline Requirements) or the current text (for provisions incorporated by reference from the Network and Certificate System
Security Requirements ("NetSec"). It was decided that it was better to incorporate the NetSec requirements by reference rather than copying and pasting them in. In some limited instances the phrase "these Requirements" has been replaced with "this CP." However,
"these Requirements" is mostly left in to preserve consistency with the current Baseline Requirements.
