<p class="MsoNormal">Ballot 146 - Convert Baseline Requirements
to RFC 3647 Framework<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 into the RFC 3647 format.<o:p></o:p></p>
