Since then, several members of the CA/Browser Forum have worked to develop better criteria for membership of Certificate Consumers in the SCWG, however, discussion is ongoing. A moratorium is necessary to preserve the status quo and ensure impartiality while we re-evaluate and revise our membership criteria so that they are more clear, fair, and aligned with the goals of the Forum.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%'>The following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and endorsed by Tobias Josefowitz of Opera and Thomas Zermeno of SSL.com.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%'><b>Motion Begins</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%'>Effective immediately, there is a temporary moratorium established on the acceptance of applications for membership as Certificate Consumer members in the Server Certificate Working Group. This moratorium will expire on December 1, 2023, or prior to such date, upon publication of the Forum’s vote on a revised Charter for the Server Certificate Working Group.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%'>During the moratorium, the Server Certificate Working Group will not accept or consider applications for membership as Certificate Consumers.
