<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="color:black">Purpose of Ballot:<br>
</span></b><span style="color:black"><br>
The EV Guidelines aim to ensure a consistent and repeatable level of validation for certificates, regardless of the CA performing the validation, providing Relying Parties consistency for all certificates complying with these Guidelines. Although the Guidelines
 attempt to specify objective requirements, areas remain that rely on a subjective determination by the CA. One such area is determining whether a given Incorporating Agency or Registration Agency fulfills these Requirements.<br>
<br>
As currently specified, it's possible for one CA to make a determination that a given Registration Agency or Incorporating Agency does meet the requirements of the EV Guidelines, while a different CA determines that same Agency does not. As the reliability
 of the information validated within the Certificate is tied to the reliability of the data source used to verify this information, this inconsistency undermines the assurance that EV Certificates are meant to provide.<br>
<br>
While there is utility in being able to identify precisely what datasource(s) were used with a given Certificate, this ballot does not involve such work. It merely seeks to ensure that, for any given Organization, it can be validated consistently and to the
 same degree, regardless of the CA, by working to achieve consistency among all CAs in their selection of data sources.<br>
<br>
Much like the work to remove “Any other method” from the validation of domain names, ensuring consistency, transparency, and objectivity in validating domain names, this ballot is the first step to doing the same for organization information.<br>
<br>
A potential roadmap of ballots to to address these issues involves:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
