    Yes, we removed it as redundant because the "national scheme" seems
    to apply to auditor qualifications (or accreditation), that is
    already described in section 8.2 as we mentioned on April 15th
    (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2018-April/013237.html">https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2018-April/013237.html</a>).<br>
    <br>
    Arno, what you describe as "define more precise requirements on
    standards for conducting the audits", mainly affects section 8.2 and
    not 8.4 that this ballot tries to update. My understanding is that
    the current ballot language clarifies and aligns both standard
    schemes (WebTrust and ETSI) and is rather uncontroversial.<br>
    <br>
    As Tim said, if new information is brought forward, we don't need to
    withdraw the ballot but delay the voting start date so please
    provide more feedback if there are is any ambiguity introduced,
    compared to the previous language.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Thank you,<br>
    Dimitris.<br>

            <p>Dear CA/B-Forum Members,<o:p></o:p></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".<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>Would realy like to cover the audit requirements from all
              browsers by the Ballot, so more time is needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
