We don't really have a defined technical format, and we've continued to grow in the number and ways in which they're shared (PDFs, word documents, rich-text markup for e-mails, wiki forms)? Rich text e-mails are a really good example of a 'questionable' idea, since you could have the rich text message (which some clients do not support) display things underline/strikethrough/colored, but then also provide a 'plain text' version (which is what our maillist archives for the public) that doesn't maintain that coloration.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On a more extreme basis, could a ballot simply say "See this link" and refer to a GitHub pull request?

My hope and desire is that, regardless of bylaws, we'd at least pick some consistency and stick to it consistently =) For example, it was not until Ben's clarification, on May 18 - after several people had voted - that the nature and means of understanding that comparison was pointed out. Perhaps it was more obvious to our learned colleagues at Entrust, Izenpe, and Mozilla, but of course, until that clarification was provided, it was entirely suspect as to whether or not it was a legitimate ballot, and how to compare that text against the current EVGs :)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Fri, May 19, 2017 at 8:19 PM, Jeremy Rowley <<a href="mailto:jeremy.rowley@digicert.com" target="_blank">jeremy.rowley@digicert.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Why wouldn’t the wiki version constitute a redlined version?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a name="m_5859005331993165482__MailEndCompose"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> </span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Public [mailto:<a href="mailto:public-bounces@cabforum.org" target="_blank">public-bounces@cabforum.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ryan Sleevi via Public<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, May 19, 2017 6:53 AM<br><b>To:</b> CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <<a href="mailto:public@cabforum.org" target="_blank">public@cabforum.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Ryan Sleevi <<a href="mailto:sleevi@google.com" target="_blank">sleevi@google.com</a>></span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [cabfpub] Ballot 191 - Clarify Place of Business Information<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Thanks Bruce for providing this.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>It's unclear to me, in light of the discussions around 198 - .onion domains - whether this constitutes a proper ballot, since a redline version was not provided.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>That is, whether the --( )-- (deletion) __ __ (addition) constitute redlines or not.
