<p class="MsoNormal">I’m reposting Ballot 148 with new review
and voting periods to address recent comments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ballot 148 - Issuer Field Correction (Rev
1)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reason <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The issuer field language in Section 9.1 of
the Baseline Requirements confuses two issues:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) the contents of the issuer field in an
end entity cert and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) how to name root and intermediate CA
certificates. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To clarify the issue and ensure proper name
chaining, this ballot fixes the issuer field requirements and,
to clarify that commonName field is part of the distinguished
name, moves all of the Subject Distinguished Name Field
requirements under the proper section. The ballot also removes
requirements around the domainComponent field as the field is
not used by current TLS clients. A subsequent ballot will
address naming of roots and intermediates under current
Section 9.2.5.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Doug Beattie of GlobalSign made the
following motion, which was endorsed by Jeremy Rowley of
DigiCert and Richard Wang of WoSign.

Distinguished Name field MUST match the Subject DN of the
Issuing CA to support Name chaining as specified in RFC 5280,
section 4.1.2.4."
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Move Section 9.2.2 to 9.2.2(a) and
renumber the subsequent sections as b-i.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
