If so, then the Ballot is 'both' the text you included, and the redlines. In Jeremy's case, the two were in conflict - the redline presented something different than the motion text. The Bylaws describe a Ballot as including a redline/comparison (which Jeremy did), but it's different than what the motion begins/ends text says.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't seem to find any requirements on the form of Review Notice, but it sounds like we're in agreement that, regardless of what the Review Notice states, what it applies to is "the Ballot". If we agree the Ballot is the motion begins/ends text (e.g. what you've published in the Review Notice, and what was voted on), then that's what it applies to. If we agree the Ballot is on the redline text (e.g. what Ben shared), then the Review Notice and the Ballot are different, but the Ballot still supercedes the Review Notice.</div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 3:43 PM, Kirk Hall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Kirk.Hall@entrustdatacard.com" target="_blank">Kirk.Hall@entrustdatacard.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As Ben has highlighted, the result of 198 created a new set of issues.<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In examining 198 - <a href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2017-April/010706.html" target="_blank">https://cabforum.org/<wbr>pipermail/public/2017-April/<wbr>010706.html</a> - it's clear in Jeremy's redlined versions (which, mistakenly, I reviewed as truth),
the 'intent' was a small change. See <a href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/attachments/20170424/80683ba2/attachment-0001.pdf" target="_blank">https://cabforum.org/<wbr>pipermail/public/attachments/<wbr>20170424/80683ba2/attachment-<wbr>0001.pdf</a><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, as Balloted, it requires a full replacement of the text adopted in 144, in a way that's structurally incompatible with the ASN.1 encoding.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Worse, this is something that was discussed during the voting reform discussions - both situations where redlines and text differ (as in this case) and questions about redlining as 'source of truth'. We tried to address it as best as possible,
but also somewhat punted the issue as unlikely :)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think it's worth highlighting this concern broadly, because we have several possible interpretations:<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) The MOTION BEGINS/MOTION ENDS is authoritative (e.g. as Kirk has distributed)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - In this case, we've now introduced a bug into the processing that is not easily undone.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Supporting Argument: This is how we've always done things.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Solution Suggestion: Hold a ballot immediately to try to fix this before the end of the IP review.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Approach 1: Nullify the ballot? That is, to keep the version of the BRs the same.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Approach 2: Direct the Chair not to publish any new versions of the BRs (thus triggering compliance for CAs) until the matter is resolved<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Approach 3: Introduce a new ballot with a new OID for the service descriptor that restores the 144 text<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Implications:<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - If folks don't vote on this, we're stuck in a bad place (effectively, no one should issue EV onion certs, because they'd post a compat/interop risk)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) The redline text is authoritative (e.g. as Ben has distributed)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - In this case, we're saying that the PDFs, not the ballot text, are what is authoritative.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - This means you can no longer read ballots on our website "as is", but must ALSO view/post the supporting materials<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Supporting Argument: The Bylaws seem to support this with respect to Section 2.3(a).<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Solution Suggestion: Hold a ballot to agree on this interpretation for this specific ballot<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Solution Suggestion p2: Hold a (same/different?) ballot to the bylaws clarify this for future ballots<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Implications:<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - We should figure out what this means for future ballots if we go this route.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - It also means our ballot postings to the website are probably incomplete<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) The ballot is invalid (due to the inconsistency)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - In this case, we're saying the ballot is null because of the mismatch<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Supporting Argument: The Bylaws in 2.3(a) indicate that a Draft Guideline Ballot proposing a Final Maintenance Guideline will include a redline or comparison, and that such redline or comparison be made against the Final Guideline section(s)
as they exist at the time the ballot is proposed. Jeremy's redline was not against that section, ergo, was not a valid ballot.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Solution Suggestion: Hold a ballot to agree on this interpretation for this specific ballot<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Solution Suggestion p2: Adopt it fixed<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In short, I think we should probably resolve this with a ballot - which can be completed in two weeks. The IP Review Notice has been triggered, but its unclear as to whether Review Notices need to also include the Ballot text itself (e.g.
the Ballot is, presumably, what was posted to <a href="mailto:public@cabforum.org" target="_blank">
public@cabforum.org</a> and voted on - which included the redline changes). That is, it's unclear whether the text Kirk included in the Review Notice - which is different than the ballot (since it omits the redlines) - supersedes/replaces the Ballot itself.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does this capture every possible interpretation? Are the others?<u></u><u></u></p>
