HARICA votes "No" to ballot SC-064.<br>
<br>
We appreciate the discussions and effort to clarify and improve
membership criteria for Certificate Consumers and HARICA is very
supportive of these activities. However, we do not believe there is
an imminent risk for the Server Certificate Working Group and the
"balance" between its Voting Members.<br>
<br>
In addition, from a Bylaws perspective, a ballot that effectively
modifies a WG Charter by "pausing" acceptance of a certain member
category, in HARICA's opinion it should have been processed at the
Forum-level and not at the WG level. I would like to personally
apologize for not highlighting this issue sooner.<br>

discussions at Face-to-Face Meeting 58, it was noted
that the membership criteria for Certificate Consumers in
the Charter for the Server Certificate Working
Group (SCWG) lacked sufficient detail. 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.<span></span></p>
