<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Bruce Morton of Entrust and Jeremy Rowley of Digicert

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874">Section 6.1.7 of the Baseline Requirements states that the Root CA Private Keys MUST NOT be used to sign end-entity certificates, with some exceptions. It is unclear if this exception list includes end-entity certificates with EKU id-kp-timeStamping.
This ballot attempts to clarify two things: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1">
that it affects Root Keys in a hierarchy that issues SSL Certificates and <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1">
that it does not include time stamping certificates in the exception list. <o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="line874">It also clears the exception language for 1024-bit RSA Subscriber Certificates and testing products with Certificates issued by a Root.
