<p class="line867"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Ballot 202 - Underscore and Wildcard Characters</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">The current Baseline Requirements do not expressly allow underscore characters in Subject Alternative Names. This ballot seeks to clarify that one or more underscore characters (“_”) are allowed in FQDNs. In many places
it also replaces the term "FQDN" with "Domain Name" because "Domain Name" now means either "FQDN" or "Wildcard Domain Name". The ballot clarifies validation of wildcard domain names. It also cleans up some of the language in Sections 3.2.2.4 and 7.1.4.2.1
of the Baseline Requirements. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line862"><span lang="EN-US">The following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of DigiCert and endorsed by Peter Bowen of Amazon and Ryan Sleevi of Google to introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the "Baseline Requirements Certificate Policy
for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" (Baseline Requirements).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">--Motion Begins-- <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">A. In Sections 1.3.2, 1.6 (Base Domain Name), 2.2, 3.2.2.4, 3.2.2.4.5, 3.2.2.4.6, 3.2.2.4.10, 3.2.2.4.11, 4.2.1, 4.9.1.1.6, and 4.9.11 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the words "Fully Qualified Domain Name" and "FQDN"
with "Domain Name". <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">B. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the definition for "Authorization Domain Name" with the following: The Domain Name used to obtain authorization for certificate issuance for a given Domain Name.
The CA may use the FQDN returned from a DNS CNAME lookup as the Domain Name for the purposes of domain validation. If the Domain Name is a Wildcard Domain Name, then the CA MUST remove “*.” from the left most portion of requested Domain Name. The CA may prune
zero or more labels from left to right until encountering a Base Domain Name and may use any one of the intermediate values for the purpose of domain validation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">C. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, INSERT the following definition: "Domain Label: An individual component of a Domain Name."
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">D. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the definition for "Domain Name" with the following: A set of one or more Domain Labels, each separated by a single full stop character (".").
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">E. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the definition for "Fully-Qualified Domain Name" with the following: A Domain Name that includes the Domain Labels of all superior nodes in the Internet Domain Name
System. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">F. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the definition for "Reserved IP Address" with the following: An IPv4 or IPv6 address that the IANA has "False" for Globally Reachable in either of the IANA Special-Purpose
IP Address Registries: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line867"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml">https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml</a> or

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">G. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, REPLACE the definition for "Wildcard Certificate" with the following: A Certificate containing a Wildcard Domain Name in any of the Subject Alternative Names in the Certificate.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">H. In Section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements, INSERT the following definition: "Wildcard Domain Name: A Domain Name consisting of a single asterisk character ("*") followed by a single full stop character (".") followed
by a Fully-Qualified Domain Name." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">I. In Section 2.2 of the Baseline Requirements, INSERT the word "requested" in the fourth sentence between the words "processing CAA records for" and "Domain Names" so that it reads, "processing CAA records for requested
Domain Names". <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">J. REPLACE the second paragraph of Section 3.2.2.4 of the Baseline Requirements so that it reads, "The CA SHALL confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issues, the CA has validated each Domain Name 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)."
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">K. REPLACE Section 3.2.2.6 of the Baseline Requirements in its entirety with:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">3.2.2.6. Additional Validation for Wildcard Certificates
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Before issuing a Wildcard Certificate, the CA MUST establish and follow a documented procedure[^pubsuffix] that determines if the FQDN portion of any Wildcard Domain Name in the certificate is “registry-controlled” or is
a “public suffix” (e.g. “*.com”, “*.co.uk”, see RFC 6454 Section 8.2 for further explanation).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">If the FQDN portion of any Wildcard Domain Name in the certificate is "registry-controlled" or is a "public suffix", CAs MUST refuse issuance unless the applicant proves its rightful control of the entire Domain Namespace.
(e.g. CAs MUST NOT issue "*.co.uk" or "*.local", but MAY issue "*.example.com" to Example Co.).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line862"><span lang="EN-US">[^pubsuffix] Determination of what is “registry-controlled” versus the registerable portion of a Country Code Top-Level Domain Namespace is not standardized at the time of writing and is not a property of the DNS itself.
Current best practice is to consult a “public suffix list” such as <a href="http://publicsuffix.org/">
http://publicsuffix.org/</a> (PSL), and to retrieve a fresh copy regularly. If using the PSL, a CA SHOULD consult the "ICANN DOMAINS" section only, not the "PRIVATE DOMAINS" section. The PSL is updated regularly to contain new gTLDs delegated by ICANN, which
are listed in the "ICANN DOMAINS" section. A CA is not prohibited from issuing a Wildcard Certificate to the Registrant of an entire gTLD, provided that control of the entire namespace is demonstrated in an appropriate way.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">L. REPLACE Section 7.1.4.2.1 of the Baseline Requirements in its entirety with:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">7.1.4.2.1 Subject Alternative Name Extension
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Certificate Field: extensions:subjectAltName
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Required/Optional: Required <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Contents: This extension MUST contain at least one entry. Each entry MUST be one of the following types:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">1. dNSName: the entry MUST contain either a Fully-Qualified Domain Name or Wildcard Domain Name that the CA has validated in accordance with section 3.2.2.4. FQDNs and the FQDN portion of Wildcard DNs must comply with RFC
5280 section 4.2.1.6 with the following exception: underscore characters ("_") are allowed in Domain Labels such that replacing all underscore characters with hyphen characters ("-") would result in a valid Domain Label. CAs MUST NOT include Domain Labels
which have hyphens as the third and fourth characters unless the first character is "x" or "X", the second character is "n" or "N", and the fifth and later characters are a valid Punycode string. CAs MUST additionally validate that Wildcard DNs are consistent
with section 3.2.2.6. The entry MUST NOT contain an Internal Name. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">2. iPAddress: the entry MUST contain an IP address that the CA has validated in accordance with Section 3.2.2.5. The entry MUST NOT contain a Reserved IP Address.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">M. REPLACE subsection a. of Section 7.1.4.2.2 of the Baseline Requirements with:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">a. Certificate Field: subject:commonName (OID 2.5.4.3)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Required/Optional: Deprecated (Discouraged, but not prohibited)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">Contents: If present, this field MUST contain a single IP address or Domain Name that is one of the values contained in the Certificate’s subjectAltName extension (see Section 7.1.4.2.1). When including a Domain Name in
a common name, CAs MUST only use LDH labels as defined in RFC 5890 and MUST NOT use U-labels. When including an IPv6 address in a common name, CAs MUST use a format conforming to Section 4 or Section 5 of RFC 5952. When including an IPv4 address in a common
name, CAs MUST encode the name as an IPv4Address as defined in RFC 3986. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">--Motion Ends-- <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">The procedure for approval of this Final Maintenance Guideline ballot is as follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):

<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">If a vote of the Forum approves this ballot, the Chair will initiate a 30-day IPR Review Period by sending out an IPR Review Notice.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">After 30 days of announcing the IPR Review period by the Chair:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">(a) If Exclusion Notice(s) are filed, this ballot approval is rescinded and a PAG will be created; or (b) If no Exclusion Notices are filed, this ballot becomes effective at end of the IPR Review Period.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">From Bylaw 2.3: If the Draft Guideline Ballot is proposing a Final Maintenance Guideline, such ballot will include a redline or comparison showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline section(s) intended to become
a Final Maintenance Guideline, and need not include a copy of the full set of guidelines. Such redline or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time a ballot is proposed, and need not take into consideration other
ballots that may be proposed subsequently, except as provided in Bylaw Section 2.3(j).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line862"><span lang="EN-US">Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread on the Public list. A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response. A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote
to abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting member before the close of the voting period will be counted. Voting members are listed here:
<a href="https://cabforum.org/members/">https://cabforum.org/members/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="line874"><span lang="EN-US">In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast by members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by members in the browser category must be in favor. Quorum is half of the
number of currently active Members, which is the average number of Member organizations that have participated in the previous three Forum-wide meetings (both teleconferences and face-to-face meetings). Under Bylaw 2.2(g), at least the required quorum number
must participate in the ballot for the ballot to be valid, either by voting in favor, voting against, or abstaining.
