This term is referred to through RFC 7719, and involves a precise technical definition regarding how a zone's authoritative servers are configured and expressed (e.g. NS records). While this allows a CA to skip looking up the CAA record, it does not absolve them of the need to look up these other records on every issuance.<br><br>As practiced by CAs, this has clearly caused some confusion. For example, some CAs have incorrectly implemented policies that determine they're authoritative based on self-assertion that they are authoritative, which is not consistent with the current requirements.<br><br>To avoid these issues, this sunsets the CAA exception on 2021-07-01 for the DNS Operator, simplifying the requirements and reducing ambiguities for CAs performing validation.<br><br>The following motion has been proposed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and endorsed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Jacob Hoffman-Andrews of ISRG/Let's Encrypt.<br><br>It can be viewed on GitHub as <a href="https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/271">https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/271</a><br><br>-- MOTION BEGINS --<br><br>This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” (“Baseline Requirements”), based on Version 1.7.4:<br><br>MODIFY the Baseline Requirements as specified in the following Redline:<br><br><a href="https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/47248d77d371356780b08cfa971b26d88d704ca8..6d34b1d51f645912d2237d5d4b46f4a49e8352ed">https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/47248d77d371356780b08cfa971b26d88d704ca8..6d34b1d51f645912d2237d5d4b46f4a49e8352ed</a><br><br>-- MOTION ENDS --<br><br>This ballot proposes a Final Maintenance Guideline.<br><br>The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:<br><br>Discussion (7+ days)<br><br>Start Time: 2021-05-13 20:00:00 UTC<br>End Time: 2021-05-26 14:00:00 UTC<br><br>Vote for approval (7 days)<br><br>Start Time: 2021-05-26 14:00:00 UTC<br>End Time: TBD<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
