<p class="MsoNormal">The following ballot is proposed by Tim
Hollebeek of DigiCert and endorsed by Wayne Thayer of Mozilla
and Clint Wilson of Apple.<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 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>
