<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">(c)
A representative of any Member can call for a proposed
ballot to be published for discussion and comment by the
membership. Any proposed ballot needs two endorsements by
other Members in order to proceed. The discussion period
then shall take place for at least seven but no more than 14
calendar days before votes are cast. The proposer of the
ballot will designate the length of the discussion period,
and each ballot shall clearly state the start and end dates
and times (including time zone) for both the discussion
period and the voting period.
</span><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">(d)
Upon completion of the discussion period, Members shall have
exactly seven calendar days for voting, with the deadline
clearly communicated in the ballot and sent via the Public
Mail List. All voting will take place via the Public Mail
List. Votes not submitted to the Public Mail List will not
be considered valid, and will not be counted for any
purpose.</span><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">(e)
Members may vote yes, no, or abstain on a ballot. Only
votes that indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response to the
ballot question shall be considered (i.e. votes to abstain
and votes that do not indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’
response will not figure in the calculation of item (f),
below).
</span><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">(f)
Members fall into two categories: CAs (comprising issuing
CAs and root CAs, as defined in the membership criteria) and
browsers (as defined in the membership criteria). In order
for the ballot to be adopted by the Forum, two-thirds or
more of the votes cast by the Members in the CA category
must be in favor of the ballot, and at least 50% plus one of
the votes cast by the members in the browser category must
be in favor of the ballot. At least one CA Member and one
browser Member must vote in favor of a ballot for the ballot
to be adopted. </span>
<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">(g)
A ballot result will be considered valid only when more than
half of the number of currently active Members has
participated. The number of currently active Members is the
average number of Member organizations that have
participated in the previous three Forum-wide meetings (both
teleconferences and face-to-face meetings). Working Group,
subgroup, committee, PAG, and other similar meetings do not
count for purposes of calculating the “number of currently
active members.” </span><span

both the Member Mail List and the Public Mail List. The
Review Notice will clearly specify the open and close dates
and times (with time zone) of the Review Period. If the
Chair does not initiate the Review Period within 5 business

such period, if any. No later than 3 business days after
the conclusion of the applicable Review Period, the Chair
