Under Bylaw 2.2(g), a ballot result will be considered valid only when more than half of the number of currently active Members has participated. Votes to abstain are counted in determining a quorum. Half of currently active Members as of the start of voting
is 9, so quorum was 10 votes – <u>quorum was met</u>. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="line874"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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. A report with one or more proposals for the future of the Network Security Guidelines.<br>
<br>
2. For proposals involving replacement, 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 on 2018-06-19, whichever happens first.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The expiry date given above shall be automatically postponed by 1 year on 2018-05-19 ("postponement date") and each anniversary of the postponement date thereafter unless three
or more members separately or jointly request on the Public Mail List, within one month prior to a particular postponement date, that expiry of this Working Group not be postponed in that instance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
