<span lang="EN-US">Dear Fellow CAB Forum Members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<span lang="EN-US">When we posted Ballot 193 yesterday, it was intended to capture the consensus that emerged in the lengthy discussions around Ballot 185 and reduce maximum certificate and vetting data lifetime for DV and OV certs from the present 39 months
to 27 months (or 825 days). We also included certain conforming changes to make the language of the BRs and EV Guidelines match, and to reflect past Forum practices on reuse of certificate reuse. We did not expect any issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<span lang="EN-US">However, some members did take issue with the conforming changes in emails posted to the list over the past day. To be clear, these issues relate mainly to
<i><u>existing</u></i> BR or EVGL provisions, and not to any new provisions we included in the first version of our ballot. However, to open the way for maximum consensus on the main point of Ballot 193 – reducing cert and data lifetime from 39 months to 27
months – we have stripped those conforming changes from the attached revised “v2” version of Ballot 193 (see also the revised version pasted below). We hope this earns 100% support for this ballot from all Forum members.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<u><span lang="EN-US">We did make a minor change to the language for BR 6.3.2 – Certificate Operational Periods</span></u><span lang="EN-US">. The first version of the ballot said that from
<u>April 1, 2015</u> until March 1, 2018 the maximum cert validity period is 39 months – however, the current BRs allowed 60 month certs under the old rules until June 30, 2016 under limited circumstances. So we have edited our changes to BR 6.3.2 to read
that 39 month certs may be issued from <u>July 1, 2016</u> until March 1, 2018. Because both of those “start dates” for 39 month certs are in the past, this makes no real difference but is technically more correct.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
