<p class="MsoNormal">The following ballot is proposed by Tim
Hollebeek of DigiCert and endorsed by Wayne Thayer of Mozilla
and Adriano Santoni of Actalis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ballot Forum-11: Creation of S/MIME
Certificates Working Group<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Purpose of the Ballot<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The CA/Browser Forum recently underwent a
two-year long governance reform exercise, modifying the Bylaws
to allow the creation of working groups that covered topics
other than server certificates. 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">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>
