<b>Purpose of Ballot: </b>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.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">This
motion changes the CAB Forum Bylaws.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
</p>
<u> </u><u><b>Section 1</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><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:<br>
<ul>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>it stops providing updates for its
membership-qualifying software product; or <br>
</li>
<li>six months have elapsed since the last such
published update.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
</ul>
(b) <u>Issuing CA</u> or <u>Root CA</u>: An CA
member's membership may be suspended if any of the
following become true:<br>
<ul>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>it fails to pass its membership-qualifying audit;</li>
<li>its membership-qualifying audit is revoked,
rescinded or withdrawn;</li>
<li>fifteen months have elapsed since the end of the
Audit Period of its last successful
membership-qualifying audit;</li>
<li>it stops issuing certificates to Web servers that
are openly accessible from the Internet; or<br>
</li>
<li>it is no longer the case that its currently-issued
certificates are treated as valid by at least one
Browser member. <br>
</li>
</ol>
<ul>
</ul>
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>
<u><b>Section 2</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><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>, </u><u>such
certificates being treated as valid when</u> using a
browser created by a Browser member."<br>
<br>
<u><b>Section 3</b></u><u><b><br>
<br>
</b></u>Update section 2.2 b) as follows:<br>
<br>
Only one vote per Member company shall be accepted;
representatives of <strike>corporate affiliates</strike><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. <br>
