<div>Here is an updated version of this ballot that will allow
the Validation WG to continue as a Subcommittee after the
October 3rd sunset for Legacy Working Groups that is built
into our new bylaws. I have attempted to incorporate the
feedback received on Kirk's earlier versions of the ballot
into this version. Note that v3 of this ballot was never
circulated.</div>

<div>I am beginning the discussion period for this ballot
immediately in hopes that we can get this passed 2 weeks
from today and avoid any temporary gap in which the
Validation Subcommittee does not formally exist. I would
appreciate it if you would review this ASAP and provide any
feedback that might require us to restart the discussion
period.</div>

<div>Purpose of Ballot<br>
<br>
The Validation Working Group of the CA/Browser Forum will
expire on October 3, 2018 under the provisions of the new
Bylaws adopted in Ballot 206. The Server Certificate
Working Group wishes to establish a Validation Subcommittee
pursuant to the provisions of Bylaws Section 5.3.1(e). This
ballot is based on the language in Ballot 143 which was
approved by the Forum Members for formally establishing the
legacy Validation Working Group in 2015: <a
