It is proposed that the establishment of a Definitions and Glossary Working Group will assist the Forum as a whole, and its individual Chartered Working Groups, in the following ways:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>1. <b>Clarity and Consistency</b>: Standardizing the definitions of terms will help Members and other interested parties have a clearer understanding of the terminology being used. This should reduce ambiguity and confusion, while increasing consistency in interpretation and use across Working Groups and Final Guidelines.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>2. <b>Effective Communication</b>: A Glossary enables more effective communication among Members, as well as with external stakeholders such as industry partners, regulatory bodies, and other standardization organizations. It helps to ensure that everyone involved in the process is speaking the same language and, as such, may have a positive impact beyond the Forum alone.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>3. <b>Quality</b>: By establishing a Glossary, the Forum can focus efforts on enhancing the quality and accuracy of the language used in published Guidelines. The availability of consistent, high-quality terminology reduces the risk of misunderstandings, errors, and misinterpretations that could undermine the effectiveness of the Forum.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>4. <b>Accessibility and Learning</b>: For new Members or observers of the Forum, having a centralized Glossary provides a valuable resource for learning the specialized terminology used here. As with Guidelines in general, a focused Glossary can reduce the learning curve associated with understanding, implementing, and complying with complex baseline requirements documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>5. <b>Cross-referencing and Interoperability</b>: A well-defined Glossary facilitates cross-referencing between Guidelines and promotes interoperability between the Forum’s Chartered Working Groups as well as external systems, products, processes, and people that rely on mutual understanding of shared terminology. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>6. <b>Feedback and Iterative Improvement</b>: Building and maintaining a Glossary provides a framework for soliciting and receiving feedback from industry stakeholders and continuously improving the clarity and accuracy of the definitions over time. As new terms emerge or existing definitions evolve, the Glossary can be updated, ensuring that the Forum remains current and responsive to industry changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Following the passage of this ballot:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US>A new Definitions and Glossary Chartered Working Group will be formed under the CA/Browser Forum, as outlined in section 5.3.1 of the Bylaws;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US>A Mailing list(s), GitHub repository(ies), and Wiki resource(s) will be established as needed to enable the D&G WG to fulfill its charter;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US>The D&G WG will collaborate with other CWGs in the Forum as stipulated in the charter found below; and<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US>The D&G WG will produce and maintain a Glossary document.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>MOTION BEGINS</span></i><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Establish Definitions and Glossary Working Group</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Upon approval from the CA/Browser Forum by ballot in accordance with section 5.3 of the Forum Bylaws, the Definitions and Glossary Working Group (“DGWG”) is created to perform the activities as specified in the Charter as found here: <a href="https://github.com/cabforum/forum/compare/9805b6976e7a7ac391048d4eadb4379aa956110b...2b2b081a224031050aedf9404d9ce50344a468e8">https://github.com/cabforum/forum/compare/9805b6976e7a7ac391048d4eadb4379aa956110b...2b2b081a224031050aedf9404d9ce50344a468e8</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>MOTION ENDS</span></i><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Discussion</span></u><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'> (7+ days)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Start Time</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>: 2024-Mar-21 15:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>End Time</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>: 2024-April-4 14:59 UTC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Vote for approval</span></u><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'> (7 days)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>Start Time: 2024-April-4 15:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'>End Time: 2024-April-11 15:00 UTC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
