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>
