<p class="line874">In accordance with Section 5.3 of the CA/B
Forum Bylaws, the chartering of a new Working Group requires a
ballot. This ballot charters the Network Security Working Group.<br>
<br>
The CAB Forum's Network Security Guidelines were adopted in
August 2012 but have not been updated since. Significant doubts
have been raised as to their fitness for purpose in 2017.
Therefore, the Working Group’s charter will be as follows:<br>
<br>
<b>Scope</b><br>
<br>
1. Consider options for revising, replacing or scrapping the
Network Security Guidelines.<br>
<br>
<b>Deliverables</b><br>
<br>
1. An extensive report with one or more proposals for the future
of the Network Security Guidelines.<br>
<br>
2. For proposals involving replacement with an existing
framework or standard, details of the availability and
applicability of the proposed alternative, and what
modifications if any would be needed to it in order to make it
suitable for use.<br>
<br>
3. For proposals involving revision, details of the revisions
that are deemed necessary and how the document will be kept
current in the future.<br>
<br>
4. For proposals involving scrapping, an explanation of why this
is preferable to either of the other two options.<br>
<br>
5. If there are multiple proposals, optionally a recommendation
as to which one to pursue and an associated timeline.<br>
<br>
6. A form of ballot or ballots to implement any recommendations.<br>
<br>
<b>Expiry</b><br>
<br>
The Working Group shall expire once the deliverables have been
completed, or if the group agrees that it cannot achieve the
2/3rds endorsement required by the bylaws for any proposal.</p>
