<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The CA/Browser Forum publishes Final Guidelines representing technical requirements about nuanced and challenging PKI implementations. 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>
