Server Certificate Working Group Charter<span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Purpose of the Ballot<span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This ballot proposes changes to the Server Certificate
Working Group (SCWG) Charter, based on existing version 1.2 of the Charter and
on recent updates to the Forum’s Bylaws. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">During discussions at Face-to-Face Meeting 58, it was noted
that the membership criteria for Certificate Consumers in the SCWG Charter
lacked sufficient detail. Since then, through discussions on the mailing list
of the SCWG, better criteria for membership of Certificate Consumers in the
SCWG have been developed, and the ballot also adds a 6-month probationary
period for all applicants to the SCWG before they become voting members. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Additionally, section numbering has been added, the outdated
"Root Certificate Issuer" voting category has been removed, and
provisions regarding voting percentages and quorum have been clarified.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla
and endorsed by Martijn Katerbarg of Sectigo and Dimitris Zacharopoulos of
HARICA.<span></span></p>
