class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The amendments do the following (for WebTrust, please read in “or ETSI equivalent”):<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>1. Update the old name of WebTrust for CAs to the new name.<span style='color:#1F497D'> To be fair not WebTrust should be so explicit and just say ETSI equivalent giving less importance. I´ve removed the whole title of the Webtrust.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>2. Add the requirement of a BR WebTrust audit (since no CA can issue SSL certs today without one, and the BRs are the most important product of the Forum to date – why would a CA want to join the Forum if it can’t or won’t follow the BRs and get a BR WebTrust audit? Why would we want that CA as a CA Member?) <span style='color:#1F497D'>Again, you´re always focusing on Webtrust. This should be independent of whatever audit certification.</span><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>There was some discussion that CAs without a BR WebTrust might want to participate anyway – I doubt that, but they can comment on the public list and join working groups. There was also discussion that CAs that only issue code signing certs don’t need a BR WebTrust audit under browser rules – to date, no CA issuing only code signing certs has applied to be a Member, so maybe we just wait to see if this ever happens.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>The requirement of the certification is done by the browser root programs but being a member of the CABF does not need to follow the same rules. I´d leave it open even I´ve included in the text that has to be certified just to follow the current text. In any case, I´m not opposed but I think is a little bit strange or ridiculous including messages from Peter Bowen all the time saying “posted with permission” or “forwarded with permission”, because at the end, we´re treating them as they were posted by any member.<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>3. I was told our old ETSI numbers are no longer valid. To deal with this into the future, I have changed the language above to “or ETSI equivalent” so the reference will always be valid.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>The ETSI numbers are still valid, what I´ve said is that they are going to change. But again, you´re unfair with ETSI, don´t mind indicating the whole title of the Webtrust document but not the ETSI one. To be fair, I´ve just indicated Webtrust or ETSI, I think this is enough. If more detailed is needed, then, we should include the whole text for both not just one. The CABF is not only US centric.<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>4. Instead of giving a new CA “observer” status, which is not defined, I followed the suggestion to give the new CA “Interested Party” status, which is defined at Bylaw 3.1. We get to define the level of participation of various Interested Parties, so we could allow a new CA to participate (but not vote) on all conference calls, meetings, and mail lists, the same as we do for WebTrust and ETSI representatives.<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>5. I added the following as an additional item of information that new CAs would have to submit to apply for membership: “Links or references to issued certificates that demonstrate compliance with all applicable certificate, CRL, and OCSP requirements.” That is similar to what you were seeking.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Not sure to include the CRL and OCSP requirements, because there are some others that also “apply” or will apply, like CT, CAA, … Are we sure that we want to include terms instead of saying the for example, “status checking requirements”? This way, all of them apply more or less.<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>6. Finally, I clarified that new members could be accepted by consensus during a teleconference of meeting of the Members, but that any Member could request a Ballot on acceptance (so if a Member objected, it could take the matter to a vote). This is roughly what we have been doing.<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>I welcome comments.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#0F243E'>Kirk R.
