<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Purpose of Ballot:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Recent Ballot 193 reduced the maximum period for certificates and for reuse of vetting
data for DV and OV certificates from 39 months to 825 days. The effective date for reducing the maximum validity period of certificates was specified as March 1, 2018, but no effective date was specified for when the reduction of the maximum period for reuse
of vetting data becomes effective.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It was the intention of the authors of Ballot 193 that the effective date for reducing the maximum period for reuse of vetting data under BR 4.2.1 would also be March 1, 2018. This
ballot is intended to clarify that intention. The ballot also makes these changes retroactive to the effective date of Ballot 193 so there is no gap period.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Ballot 193 is in the Review Period (which will end on April 22, 2017), and has not yet taken effect. Bylaw 2.3 states that Ballots should include a “redline
or comparison showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline section(s) intended to become a Final Maintenance Guideline” and that “[s]uch redline or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time a ballot is
proposed”.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">To avoid confusion, this Ballot will show the proposed changes to BR 4.2.1 will be presented two ways: (1) a comparison of the changes to BR 4.2.1 as it existed before Ballot 193
(which is as BR 4.2.1 exists at this time this ballot is proposed), and also (2) a comparison of the changes to BR 4.2.1 as it will exist after the Review Period for Ballot 193 is completed (assuming no Exclusion Notices are filed).</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
