This proposed charter is not too different than the validation
subcommittee charter. If I recall correctly, subcommittees were
intended to be more flexible in order to achieve their chartered
goal. Initially I thought of including language from the NetSec
conclusions document about the risk-based approach and so on, but
then I thought that as we go along the way, that might change (or
not) if better proposals are introduced in the subcommittee.<br>

<div>Can you set something more on the concrete deliverables -
what are the milestones used to measure progress and focus
efforts, how will they be evaluated, and when will they be
expected?</div>

<div>Given the seeming difficulty the previous group had with
staying on charter and delivering meaningful work product,
this seems even more essential to identify and discuss. A good
charter isn't about describing the borders of the kingdom, but
about where the lines of the roads are, and where the
destinations are, so that the subcommittee can know and
describe how to get from Point A to Point B safely and without
running off cliffs.</div>

<br>
About the NetSec Subcommittee, I believe we should take
into account the conclusion paragraph of the
<a
href="https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2018-June/013587.html"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">deliverable</a>
published on June 22nd 2018. The conclusion was not to
"scrap" the NetSec Guidelines. I propose the following:<br>
<br>
--- BEGIN ---<br>
<br>
The Server Certificate Working Group formally
establishes the <b>Network Security Subcommittee</b> as
an official Subcommittee.<br>
<br>
<b>Scope: </b>Revising and improving the Network and
Certificate Systems Security Requirements (NCSSRs).
<br>
<br>
<b>Out of Scope: </b>No provision.<br>
<br>
<b>Deliverables: </b>The Network Security Subcommittee
shall produce one or more documents offering options to
the Forum for establishing minimal security standards
within the scope defined above. These renewed NCSSR
documents will serve CAs, auditors and browsers in
giving a state of the art set of rules for the
deployment and operation of CAs computing
infrastructures.<br>
<br>
<b>Within the scope of the SCWG Charter:</b> Yes<br>
<br>
<b>End Date: </b>None<br>
<br>
--- END---<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Dimitris.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"></span></p>

I have slightly modified the language of that ballot
to create a SCWG Subcommittee – this would be the
language of a Ballot. Please offer edits – simpler is
better. We can try to finalize on our SCWG
teleconference on July 26.</p>
