All,</div><div><br></div><div>I let Ballot SC40v3 fail per the 21-day limit in section 2.3 of the Bylaws, which I believe is too short because it didn't provide me with sufficient time to work through the difficult wording issues. The next time we re-visit the Bylaws, I'll support a revision making it a 30-day period or greater. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, I am thinking about changing the concept from offline "CA System" to offline "Hardware Security Module." We didn't yet define "CA System". We also haven't addressed deactivated partitions on an HSM and whether those are considered "offline". So we have more work to do.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Ben</div></div></div>
