logs and data archives, the NetSec Subcommittee also identified gaps in
which data a CA is required to retain which make it somewhat difficult
to make the desired adjustments to retention period. Specifically, a CA is currently required to retain, but not use, data as defined in 4.1.1 of the BRs.<br class=""><p class="">While reviewing the intent, purpose, and real-world usage around
section 4.1.1, it became apparent that there’s little value in requiring
CAs to maintain a database for which there is no prescribed purpose or
required action. This ballot seeks to address this gap by replacing section 4.1.1
with "No stipulation." as is appropriate based on current expectations
here.</p>The following motion has been proposed by Clint Wilson of Apple and endorsed by Trevoli Ponds-White of Amazon and Dustin Hollenback of Microsoft.<br class=""><br class=""><p class="">-----Motion Begins<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">-----</span></p><p class="">
