        <p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<br>
          <br>
          This ballot is now entering its seven-day discussion period.
          My sincere thanks to everyone who helped shape the text into
          what it is today.<br>
          <br>
          Changes from draft 3:<br>
          <br>
          * 1 hour changed to 8 hours as minimum caching time, to make
          manual issuance easier.<br>
          <br>
          * Added text from Ryan, at Doug's suggestion, of exactly which
          properties need to be supported.<br>
          <br>
          * Marked Jeremy and Ryan as endorsers (assuming they don't
          object to the above changes).<br>

        <p class="line874"><b>Ballot 187 - Make CAA Checking Mandatory</b><o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="line862">The following motion has been proposed by
          Gervase Markham of Mozilla and endorsed by Jeremy Rowley of
          DigiCert and Ryan Sleevi of Google:
          <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="line874"><b>Statement of Intent</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA)
          is a DNS Resource Record defined in RFC 6844 -
          <a moz-do-not-send="true"
            href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6844/">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6844/</a>
          , published in January 2013. It allows a DNS domain name
          holder to specify one or more Certification Authorities (CAs)
          authorized to issue certificates for that domain and, by
          implication, that no other CAs are authorized.<br>
          <br>
          The intent of this motion is to make it mandatory for CAs to
          check CAA records at issuance time for all certificates issued
          (except in a few special cases), and to prevent issuance if a
          CAA record is found which does not permit issuance by that CA.
          This therefore allows domain owners to set an issuance policy
          which will be respected by all publicly-trusted CAs, and
          allows them to mitigate the problem that the public CA trust
          system is only as strong as its weakest CA.<br>
          <br>
          Note that CAA is already a defined term in the BRs and so does
          not need definitional text to be provided by this motion.
