<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><b><span lang="EN-US">Purpose of Ballot:
</span></b><span lang="EN-US">The CAB Forum Bylaws define membership criteria, but don't say what should happen when an existing member ceases to meet those criteria. This ballot is intended to fix this, for the avoidance of doubt and uncertainty. It also makes
it clearer that proper recognition of currently-issued certificates by at least one browser member is a membership requirement, and adds the definition of "Affiliate" from the IPR policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">The following motion has been proposed by Gervase Markham of Mozilla and endorsed by Kirk Hall of Entrust Datacard and Curt Spann of Apple:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN-US">Section 1<br>
</span></u></b><span lang="EN-US"><br>
Add a new section between 2.1 ("Qualifying for Forum Membership") and the following section, numbering the new section 2.2, and renumbering following sections appropriately. The new section shall read:<br>
<br>
<b>2.2 Ending Forum Membership</b><br>
<br>
Forum Members may resign from the Forum at any time. Resignation does not prevent a member potentially having continuing obligations, under the Forum's IPR Policy or any other document.<br>
<br>
(a) <u>Browser</u>: A Browser member's membership will automatically cease if any of the following become true:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Any Forum Member who believes one of the above circumstances is true of a CA Forum Member may report it on the Public Mail List. The Chair will then investigate, including asking the CA for an explanation or appropriate
documentation. If evidence of continued qualification for membership is not forthcoming within five working days, the Chair will announce that the member is suspended, such announcement to include the clause(s) from the above list under which the suspension
has been made.<br>
<br>
A suspended CA Forum Member who believes it has now re-met the membership criteria under the relevant clauses shall post evidence to the Public Mail List. The Chair will examine the evidence and unsuspend the member, or not, by public announcement. A CA Forum
Member's membership will automatically cease six months after it becomes suspended if it has not re-met the membership criteria by that time.<br>
<br>
While suspended, CAs may participate in meetings and on the Forum's discussion lists, but not propose or second ballots or take part in any form of voting. Votes cast before a member's suspension is announced will stand.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Section 2<br>
</u></b><br>
Update both sections 2.1 (a) and (b) to insert words as follows:<br>
<br>
"actively issues certificates to Web servers that are openly accessible from the Internet<u>, such certificates being treated as valid when</u> using a browser created by a Browser member."<br>
<br>
<b><u>Section 3<br>
<br>
</u></b>Update section 2.2 b) as follows:<br>
<br>
Only one vote per Member company shall be accepted; representatives of <s>corporate affiliates</s><u>Affiliates</u> shall not vote.
<br>
<br>
Add to the Definitions section:<br>
<br>
<b>Affiliate:</b> an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, a Member. Control for the purposes of this Agreement shall mean direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent of the voting
stock, or decision-making authority in the event that there is no voting stock, in an entity.
