<p>Dear CA/B-Forum Members,</p>
<p>sorry for jumping in late, Dimitris and Moudrick, many thanks for
the proposed ballot. <br>
After checking different Browser Requirements I strongly suggest
to postpone the discussion phase ballot 223 on "Updating BR
Section 8.4".</p>
<p>We should have further improvements on the definitions, <br>
esp. of "national scheme" ( e. g. within EA or IAF Framework)
and <br>
define more precise requirements on standards for conducting the
audits, (e. g. ISO/IEC 17065 supplemented by ETSI EN 319 403) <br>
so I suggest to postpone the start of the discussion phase on May,
the 7th.</p>
<p>Would realy like to cover the audit requirements from all
browsers by the Ballot, so more time is needed.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks in advance and best regards</p>
<p>Arno Fiedler<br>
