<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Based on discussions on the list about the uncertain status of Ballot 194, the proposer and endorsers for Ballot 197 wish to amend Ballot 197 as shown below and on the attached. The amendment is basically to add a
Section 2 that says: $B!H(B<span style="color:#C00000">"Section 2: The vote on Ballot 194 and the Review Period notice issued for Ballot 194 are hereby declared null and void and of no effect, and are rescinded.$B!I(B

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I just realized the discussion period ended last night, and we are in the voting period. If
<b><u>ANY</u></b> member objects to including Section 2 as an amendment at this stage, we will
<b><u>withdraw</u></b> the amendment. Otherwise, Section 2 is added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ballot 197 – Effective Date of Ballot 193 Provisions (Amended 4-25-2017)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><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
$B!H(Bredline or comparison showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline section(s) intended to become a Final Maintenance Guideline$B!I(B and that $B!H(B[s]uch redline or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time a
ballot is proposed$B!I(B.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The following motion has been proposed by Kirk Hall of Entrust Datacard and endorsed by Ben Wilson of DigiCert, and Wayne Thayer of GoDaddy to introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines
for the "Baseline Requirements Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" (Baseline Requirements) and the "Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" (EV Guidelines).<s><o:p></o:p></s></span></p>
