While originally motivated by the inability to maintain requirements for code signing certificates, it was anticipated from the start that this would also provide an opportunity to create other working groups that could develop and maintain certificate profiles and requirements for other kinds of certificates. While a number of regional and technical standards exist regarding the creation and issuance of S/MIME certificates, there is no current global forum for certificate authorities and those who consume or use S/MIME certificates to come together and develop and maintain policies and standards for those certificates. This lack of standards has impeded the adoption and interoperability of S/MIME certificate worldwide. This ballot would establish a working group chartered to develop and maintain such standards for S/MIME certificates, including but not limited to two important priorities: a uniform certificate profile for the issuance of publicly-trusted S/MIME certificates, and validation requirements for such certificates.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">-- MOTION BEGINS –<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Establish S/MIME Certificates Working Group<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Upon approval of the CAB Forum by ballot in accordance with section 5.3 of the Bylaws, the S/MIME Certificates Working Group (“SMWG”) is created to perform the activities as specified in the attached Charter.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">— MOTION ENDS—<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><Draft SMIME Charter 2019-12-20.docx></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Public mailing list</span><br><span>Public@cabforum.org</span><br><span>https://cabforum.org/mailman/listinfo/public</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
