<b>Purpose of Ballot: </b>At the moment, CAs are permitted
to delegate the process of domain and IP address validation.
However, permitting such delegations is problematic due to
the way audits work - the auditing of such work may or may
not be required and, if it is, those audit documents may not
make it back to root programs for consideration. Although
the audit situation also needs fixing, domain validation is
an important enough component of a CA's core competencies
that it seems wiser to remove it from the larger problem and
forbid its delegation. The purpose of this ballot is to
ensure that CAs or their Affiliates are always the ones
performing domain/IP address ownership validation for
certificates that CA is responsible for.<br>

<pre wrap="">This motion modifies the Baseline Requirements.
0) In section 1.6.1, augment the definition of "Delegated Third Party" as follows:
</pre>
<p>Delegated Third Party: A natural person or Legal Entity
that is not the CA<b>, and whose activities are not within
the scope of the appropriate CA audits,</b> but is
authorized by the CA to assist in the Certificate Management
Process by performing or fulfilling one or more of the CA
requirements found herein.</p>
1) In section 1.3.2, replace the following sentence:
<pre wrap="">"The CA MAY delegate the performance of all, or any part, of Section 3.2 requirements to a Delegated Third Party, provided that the process as a whole fulfills all of the requirements of Section 3.2."
with:
"With the exception of sections 3.2.2.4 and 3.2.2.5, the CA MAY delegate the performance of all, or any part, of Section 3.2 requirements to a Delegated Third Party, provided that the process as a whole fulfills all of the requirements of Section 3.2."
2) In sections 3.2.2.4, replace the paragraph beginning "The CA SHALL confirm that" with the following:
"The CA SHALL confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issues, the CA has validated each Fully‐Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) listed in the Certificate using at least one of the methods listed below, or is within the Domain Namespace of a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that has been validated using at least one of the methods listed below (not including the method defined in section 3.2.2.4.8)."
3) In section 3.2.2.4.6, remove the words "or Delegated Third Party".
4) In section 3.2.2.4.11 (if still present in the text at the time the ballot passes), replace the following text:
"either the CA or a Delegated Third Party"
with:
"the CA"
5) In section 8.4, remove the paragraph beginning: "If a Delegated Third Party is not currently audited...".
6) In section 8.4, replace the following text:
"If the CA is not using one of the above procedures and the Delegated Third Party is not an Enterprise RA, then"
with:
"For Delegated Third Parties which are not Enterprise RAs, ".
