So I’d prefer that we find there was no ambiguity and that Kirk start the review period over with the correct language and we call that good, but of course the cleanest route would be that Ballot 198 be declared defective because of ambiguity and a new ballot be presented for a new vote. Fortunately this issue only affects the EV Guidelines, which doesn’t have any ballots in play, as far as I know. </a><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose'></span><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Ryan Sleevi [mailto:sleevi@google.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 16, 2017 12:39 PM<br><b>To:</b> CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <public@cabforum.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Ben Wilson <ben.wilson@digicert.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [cabfpub] Revised Notice of Review Period - Ballot 198 - .Onion Revisions<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>As Ben has highlighted, the result of 198 created a new set of issues.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Kirk's original message includes the full text of the ballot (MOTION BEGINS), which, unfortunately, used text different from what was adopted in Ballot 144 (and part of the current EVGs) when Jeremy made his modifications.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>In examining 198 - <a href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2017-April/010706.html">https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2017-April/010706.html</a> - it's clear in Jeremy's redlined versions (which, mistakenly, I reviewed as truth), the 'intent' was a small change.
