<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Ballot 156 -
Amend Sections 1 and 2 of Baseline Requirements<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The Policy
Review Working Group has reviewed Sections 1 and 2 of the
Baseline Requirements and, as a result, suggests that
certain changes be made to them. Based on the lack of
urgency for these changes and other considerations, the
Working Group recommends that Certification Authorities be
given one year from the effective date of this amendment
before they are required to comply. Therefore, the
following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of DigiCert
and endorsed by Tim Hollebeek of Trustwave and Robin Alden
of Comodo:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- MOTION BEGINS --<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) In Section 1.1, under Notice to Readers
add a second sentence to read as follows: "This document
serves two purposes: to specify Baseline Requirements and to
provide guidance and requirements for what a CA should include
in its CPS."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) In Section 1.4.2 add "No stipulation."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) In Section 1.5.2 add "Contact
information for the CA/Browser Forum is available here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cabforum.org/leadership/">https://cabforum.org/leadership/</a>
. In this section of a CA’s CPS, the CA shall provide a link
to a web page or an email address for contacting the person or
persons responsible for operation of the CA."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) In Section 1.5.3 add "No stipulation."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5) In Section 1.5.4 add "No stipulation."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6) In Section 2.3 add "The CA SHALL
develop, implement, enforce, and annually update a Certificate
Policy and/or Certification Practices Statement that describes
in detail how the CA implements the latest version of these
Requirements."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">7) In Section 2.4 add "The CA shall make
its Repository publicly available in a read-only manner."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">8) These changes shall be effective
immediately. However, CAs are allowed one year after adoption
(i.e. 3 December 2016) to comply with this amendment to the
Baseline Requirements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- MOTION ENDS --<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The review period for this ballot shall
commence at 2100 UTC on Thursday, 19 November 2015, and will
close at 2100 UTC on Thursday, 26 November 2015. Unless the
motion is withdrawn during the review period, the voting
period will start immediately thereafter and will close
at 2100 UTC on Thursday, 3 December 2015. Votes must be cast
by posting an on-list reply to this thread.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A vote in favor of the motion must indicate
a clear 'yes' in the response. A vote against must indicate a
clear 'no' in the response. A vote to abstain must indicate a
clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not be
counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a
voting member before the close of the voting period will be
counted. Voting members are listed here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://cabforum.org/members/">https://cabforum.org/members/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order for the motion to be adopted, two
thirds or more of the votes cast by members in the CA category
and greater than 50% of the votes cast by members in the
browser category must be in favor. Quorum is currently nine
(9) members– at least nine members must participate in the
ballot, either by voting in favor, voting against, or
abstaining.<o:p></o:p></p>
