<p>All,</p>
<p>I'm heartbeating the discussion period since the holiday season
has got in the way of producing an improved text to address the
issues which Ryan, Paul and others have brought up. I didn't want
to lose the ballot because of the end of year gap.<br>
</p>
<p>I do have a set of improvements which will be addressed at the
next NetSec meeting on 2021-01-05, so we can expect a new version
of the ballot shortly after that.</p>
<p>The changes planned are to directly address the RA requirement as
well as the "suspicious activity database" and then to directly
address the retention of certificate request rejection/certificate
revocation in 5.4.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Neil<br>

begins the discussion period for Ballot SC38: Alignment of Record
Archival (which I circulated a little while ago).
<br>
<br>
The following ballot is proposed by Neil Dunbar of TrustCor
Systems and endorsed by David Kluge of Google Trust Services and
Ben Wilson of Mozilla.
<br>
<br>
Purpose of Ballot:
<br>
<br>
After the updated language included in SC28 Sections 5.4.3 and
5.5.2 (of the BRs) could be in conflict. Section 5.5.2 requires
all documentation relating to certificate requests and the
verification thereof, and all Certificates and revocation thereof
be retained for seven years after certificates cease to to be
valid. Section 5.4.3 requires all audit logs of Subscriber
Certificate lifecycle management event records be maintained for
two years after the revocation or expiration of the Subscriber
Certificate. These sections intersect at the retention
requirements for audit logs and archived records, as they relate
to subscriber certificate lifecycle events. The retention periods
are in conflict as to the length of retention.
<br>
<br>
The proposed changes seek to bring these two sections of the
“Baseline Requirements” into agreement and avoid confusion and
potential issues of noncompliance as they relate to retention
periods.
<br>
<br>
The NetSec discussion document for this ballot is attached as a
PDF to this email.
<br>
<br>
-- MOTION BEGINS --
<br>
<br>
Delete the following Section 5.5.2 Retention period for archive
from the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of
Publicly-Trusted Certificates”, which currently reads as follows:
<br>
<br>
The CA SHALL retain all documentation relating to certificate
requests and the verification thereof, and all Certificates and
revocation thereof, for at least seven years after any Certificate
based on that documentation ceases to be valid.
<br>
Insert, as Section 5.5.2. Retention period for archive of the
“Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of
Publicly-Trusted Certificates”, the following:
<br>
<br>
The CA SHALL retain all documentation relating to certificate
requests and the verification thereof, and all Certificates and
revocation thereof, for at least two years after any Certificate
based on that documentation ceases to be valid.
<br>
<br>
-- MOTION ENDS --
<br>
<br>

OFFICIAL VERSION OF THE CHANGES (CABF Bylaws, Section 2.4(a)):
