<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Ballot 199 - Require commonName in Root and Intermediate Certificates</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><b>Purpose of Ballot: </b>Section 7.1.4.3 of the BRs, which deals with Subject Information for Subordinate CA Certificates, currently requires only that all information in a Subordinate CA Certificate is
accurate; it does not say what information is required. Some of the necessary information is required elsewhere in the BRs, but it is not complete - commonName is missing. If commonName is omitted, DN clashes can more easily occur. So this motion centralises
that information in the obvious place, and adds a commonName requirement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto">The following motion has been proposed by Gervase Markham of Mozilla and endorsed by Patrick Tronnier of OATI and Ryan Sleevi of Google:<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto">-- MOTION BEGINS --<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Make the following changes to the Baseline Requirements: <o:p></o:p></p>
<pre>* Delete 7.1.2.1 (e), which currently defines the Subject Information required in a Root CA Certificate.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>* Delete 7.1.2.2 (h), which currently defines the Subject Information required in a Subordinate CA Certificate.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>* Rename section 7.1.4.2, currently titled "Subject Information", to "Subject Information - Subscriber Certificates".<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>* Rename section 7.1.4.3, currently titled "Subject Information - Subordinate CA Certificates" to "Subject Information - Root Certificates and Subordinate CA Certificates".<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>* Based on the style used in 7.1.4.2.2 and the content from the now-deleted 7.1.2.1 (e) and 7.1.2.2 (h), add the following section 7.1.4.3.1:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>7.1.4.3.1 Subject Distinguished Name Fields<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>Certificate Field: subject:commonName (OID 2.5.4.3)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Required/Optional: Required<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Contents: This field MUST be present and the contents MUST be an identifier <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>for the certificate such that the certificate's Name is unique across all <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>certificates issued by the issuing certificate.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>b. Certificate Field: subject:organizationName (OID 2.5.4.10)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Required/Optional: Required<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Contents: This field MUST be present and the contents MUST contain<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>either the Subject CA’s name or DBA as verified under Section 3.2.2.2.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>The CA may include information in this field that differs slightly from<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the verified name, such as common variations or abbreviations, provided<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>that the CA documents the difference and any abbreviations used are<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>locally accepted abbreviations; e.g., if the official record shows<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>“Company Name Incorporated”, the CA MAY use “Company Name Inc.” or<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>“Company Name”.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>c. Certificate Field: subject:countryName (OID: 2.5.4.6)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Required/Optional: Required<o:p></o:p></pre>
