Requirements Relating to Conflicts with Local Law </strong> <o:p></o:p>
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="line862">The following motion has been proposed by
Gervase Markham of Mozilla and endorsed by Kirk Hall of
Entrust and Moudrick Dadashov of SSC: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874"><font face="serif,Times New Roman,Times"><b>Statement
of Intent:</b> The purpose of this change is to reform
section 9.16.3 of the BRs, titled "Severability", which
deals with what a CA must do when it encounters a conflict
between the requirements of a jurisdiction under which it
operates and the requirements of the BRs. At the moment,
this clause is triggered only by a court determination
rather than by the CA encountering a conflict, which makes
it unlikely to ever be triggered, and it requires
notification to the CAB Forum but not documentation of the
outcome. The current clause is:</font></p>
<p class="line874"><tt>9.16.3. Severability</tt><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p class="line874"><tt>If a court or government body with
jurisdiction over the activities covered by these
Requirements determines that the performance of any
mandatory requirement is illegal, then such requirement is
considered reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make
the requirement valid and legal. This applies only to
operations or certificate issuances that are subject to the
laws of that jurisdiction. The parties involved SHALL
notify the CA / Browser Forum of the facts, circumstances,
and law(s) involved, so that the CA/Browser Forum may revise
these Requirements accordingly.</tt><br>

Requirements in its entirety and replace it with the
following:<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">9.16.3.
Severability <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">In the event of
a conflict between these Requirements and a law, regulation or
government order (hereinafter 'Law') of any jurisdiction in
which a CA operates or issues certificates, a CA MAY modify
any conflicting requirement to the minimum extent necessary to
make the requirement valid and legal in the jurisdiction. This
applies only to operations or certificate issuances that are
subject to that Law. In such event, the CA SHALL immediately
(and prior to issuing a certificate under the modified
requirement) include in Section 9.16.3 of the CA’s CPS a
detailed reference to the Law requiring a modification of
these Requirements under this section, and the specific
modification to these Requirements implemented by the CA.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">The CA MUST
also (prior to issuing a certificate under the modified
requirements) notify the CA/Browser Forum of the relevant
information newly added to its CPS by sending a message to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:questions@cabforum.org">questions@cabforum.org</a>
and receiving confirmation that it has been posted to the
Public Mailing List and is indexed in the Public Mail Archives
available at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/">https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/</a>
(or such other email addresses and links as the Forum may
designate), so that the CA/Browser Forum may consider possible
revisions to these Requirements accordingly.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Any
modification to CA practice enabled under this section MUST be
discontinued if and when the Law no longer applies, or these
Requirements are modified to make it possible to comply with
both them and the Law simultaneously. An appropriate change in
practice, modification to the CA’s CPS and a notice to the
CA/Browser Forum, as outlined above, MUST be made within 90
days.<o:p></o:p><span
