<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>

<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its membership-qualifying audit is revoked, rescinded or
withdrawn;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>
