<p> Here is a list of major changes: </p>
<ol class=" fix-media-list-overlap">
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Clarified the use of the term “Member” so it
is clear when we discuss about all Forum Members (which
includes Associate Members and Interested Parties), and when
we discuss about the “Voting Members”. Adding the word
“Voting” in front of the word “Member” removes this
ambiguity. Also, the term “Members” or “Forum Members” is
now the union of “Voting Members”, “Associate Members” and
“Interested Parties”.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Added the term “Voting Representative” which
is designated by each Member. Only votes submitted by Voting
Representatives will be considered.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Replaced “Forum wiki” with the properly
defined term “Member Web Site”.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Removed references for Webmaster in the
definition of “Public Web Site” since it is repeated in
section 5.2.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Added the Photography Policy in Exhibit D.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Clarify 4.1 (2) that Forum Members nominate
representatives </div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> Allow Informative Changes to Guidelines</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> In 5.3.1 require that a Certificate Issuer is
trusted in the “latest” software produced by a Certificate
Consumer</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"> In 4.1 the Chair is eligible to be elected as
