<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I checked with my legal team on this issue. The retroactive amendment of an earlier action by a later action is very common under the legal doctrine “nunc pro tunc” – no, I can’t speak
Latin either, but it means “now for then”. Retroactivity will be effective here not because of anything specific on retroactivity in our Bylaws, but from the fact that the second ballot we approve (Ballot 194) will by its terms completely override the conflicting
parts of the earlier ballot we approved (Ballot 193) as of the effective date of the earlier ballot. Because Ballot 194 says it is retroactive to the effective date of Ballot 193, that provision will fully apply once adopted by the Forum as a ballot following
its Bylaws.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">The good news is, members will know whether or not Ballot 194 has passed before Ballot 193 becomes effective, so there will not be any gap period. Ballot 193 will become effective on April
22, assuming no Exclusion Notices are filed by then. Ballot 194 will already have been passed by the members on April 16 (six days earlier), assuming it passes, so members will know that its retroactivity provisions were approved and will likely take effect
as of about May 16, assuming no Exclusion Notices are filed for Ballot 194 during its Review Period. Because both Ballots 193 and 194 cover the same BR section - BR 4.2.1 - if there are no Exclusion Notices filed for Ballot 193, there probably won’t be any
Exclusion Notices filed for Ballot 194 either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">As noted before, the proposer and endorsers for Ballot 193 meant for all changes to be effective at the same time, March 1, 2018. As to the reuse of validation data, clarifying that the
effective date is March 1, 2018 and not April 22, 2017 makes sense for two main reasons: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">(1) CA validation systems have complex rules in their code that track the collection date of validation data (sometimes on a document-by-document basis), and the code includes internal
clocks that tell the CA when a piece of validation data must be revalidated. CAs will need to change that code so revalidation of data is required after 825 days instead of 39 months – this is a significant project that must be done correctly, and developers
are already pretty busy with other major changes like CT logging for all certificates and CAA implementation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">(2) In addition, telling CA vetting teams that as of April 22 they can no longer use properly-collected OV and DV certificate validation data that is more than 825 days old (but still within
the previous 39 month limit for reuse) will force a massive amount of data revalidation all at once – potentially a 50% workload increase for OV and DV certs starting all on a single day. This is an undesirable outcome that was never intended by the ballot
authors. Instead, it’s better for both the shorter certificate validity period and the shorter validation data reuse period to take effect at the same time – March 1, 2018 – so that CAs can plan ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Ballots 193/194 represent a meaningful advance for user security by reducing certificate validity and data reuse periods from 39 months to 825 days. Let’s chalk up that “win” and move
on to the other issues we’re discussing for further security advances.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Chris, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the current Bylaws, it's not possible to retroactively correct this issue. The Ballot will come into effect and all CAs must ensure that any new certificates issued between that time and (should this ballot be passed) that new time
are validated with information less than two years. At present, this would be April 22, 2016 to May 16, 2017.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps it was unintentional - and this highlights the challenge in rushing a ballot forward, especially with a path for further productive discussion was given in the conclusion of Ballot 185 - but it remains that CAs must comply with
the current Baseline Requirements, and a future version can't really 'retroactively' correct that.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can you explain to me what the problems are with the current approach? Why is it 'not' just a matter of ensuring the information has been reviewed within the past 2 years, much as CAs already review it in the past 3 years? What meaningfully
changes in this equation? Even with a phase in (of a year), there will still be a significant population of users with 'stale' validity information. Unless you plan to revalidate all of those users within the next year, independent of issuing a certificate
- a plan I would be shocked to hear being proposed - then it seems that regardless of the date of enforcement, there will be a rolling population of users who need to be revalidated. Why should we punt that a year, given that the ballot as originally proposed
meaningfully improves security and this (new) ballot harms it?<o:p></o:p></p>
