<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for feedback on the following draft ballot as well as endorsers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Purpose of Ballot SC-0XX: Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use Consolidation<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This ballot proposes updates to the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates related to Subscriber Agreements and Terms of Use. It combines the requirements for both into only the Subscriber
Agreement and clarifies the requirement language. It removes the requirement and reference to "Terms of Use".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Notes: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• This removes any ambiguity to ensure that there is no requirement that the Subscriber Agreement be legally enforceable when the CA and Subscriber are affiliated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• This updates definitions for “Subscriber” and “Subscriber Agreement” and removes the definition for “Terms of Use” as these separate concepts are creating unnecessary work for CAs and Subscribers without adding any value
when separated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• As observed with other ballots in the past, minor administrative updates must be made to the proposed ballot text before publication such that the appropriate Version # and Change History are accurately represented (e.g.,
to indicate these changes will be represented in Version 2.0.2).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
