</o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>1. We added a new Associate Member status as Bylaw 3.1 in Ballot 116 in March 2014, and we would use Associate Member status for new members who were not yet issuing certificate. Here is the current text of Bylaw 3.1:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><b>3.1 Associate Members</b> The Forum may enter into associate member relationships with other organizations when the CA/Browser Forum determines that maintaining such a relationship will be of benefit to the work of the Forum. In the past, entities qualifying as Associate Members have included the AICPA/CICA WebTrust Task Force, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Paypal, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, tScheme, the U.S. Federal PKI, and CAs applying for membership but awaiting full qualification under Section 2.1. Participation as an Associate Member is by invitation only. In order to become an Associate Member, an organization must sign a mutual letter of intent, understanding, or other agreement and the Forum’s IPR Agreement, unless this latter requirement is waived in writing by the Forum based on overriding policies of the Associate Member’s own organization IPR rules. Associate Members may attend face-to-face meetings, communicate with Forum Members on member lists, and access Forum wiki content. Associate Members are not entitled to vote except on special straw polls of the Forum (e.g. when selecting meeting dates, locations, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>2. 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.” This could either be active secured websites, or test sites. We have asked new Applicants for this information in the past, so we may as well list it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>3. 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, the Member could take the matter to a vote). This is roughly what we have been doing.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=line874 style='margin-left:.5in;background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>-- Motion Ends --<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=line874 style='margin-left:.5in;background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The review period for this ballot shall commence at 18:00 UTC on June 26, 2015, and will close at 18:00 UTC on July 3, 2015.
