It is not clear if the CA can choose to do both, which would effectively extend the reuse period, or if these are mutually exclusive options. For example, assuming a reuse of 825 days, can a CA do the following?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- 1 March 2018 - Fetch a copy of domain registration information and corporate registration, complete a new validation, and issue a certificate</div><div class="">- 1 May 2020 - Reuse the previously obtained registration information, complete a new validation, and issue a new certificate with the same info as the previous certificate</div><div class="">- 1 July 2022 - Reuse the last validation and issue a new certificate with the same info as the previous certificates</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Second, the proposed text says "After the change to any validation method specified […], a CA may continue to reuse […] the validation itself, for the period stated in this BR 4.2.1 unless otherwise specifically provided in a ballot.”</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Right now CAs can reuse data and documents collected during validation. It isn’t that hard to run the validation workflow for each certificate issuance, using the existing data, and make sure you have everything in place. I don’t think having the output reusable makes a lot of sense.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Peter</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 5, 2017, at 10:52 AM, Kirk Hall via Public <<a href="mailto:public@cabforum.org" class="">public@cabforum.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">As agreed on our CABF teleconference last week, we are starting the formal discussion period for Ballot 190 (in this case, v8).
