About a month ago, the idea was to follow the whole section of the RFC, and where it was included in all the different sections that the docent must follow. For example, change section 1.1 from the scope to overview, just changing the name. The main concern was the proof of possession of the private key. The section 3.2.1 that has been include. And that will that meant that we had had to change all the section, 11 into a new, (3.2.2 )it’s basically the same, but just 1 more number. Also created the others that were remaining, even 2.3 and 2.4. And also a change in this section 8. All things checked. So the idea behind this updating of the EVGs, is just to follow well, that's been discussed a lot, so to follow this RFC, and have all the docents align. So, you see the work of the CAs, auditors, and group programs. To finally see what is required in those sections. This been discussed for some time, but in this case, this policy still needs two endorsers. This is also affecting some other working groups like Code Signing, and anything that these changes will impact, in some of the CA CPRs and CPSs, because of the numbering change. If you have any comments or anything you would like to add or need more time to review, please speak up for those that have been involved in this discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Clint Wilson:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Does that include also checking other docents referencing sections of the EVGs or just internal to the EVGs?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Inigo:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I checked the internal ones that I updated, but when clicking on the new 3.2, it's going to the right one, but I can make a double check.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Dimitris: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I haven't looked at the red line, and I asse that you also proposed changes to the baseline requirements, right?

I would like to know if there is a need, or do we need a clarification on the definition of what a DTP is. I would like to get the other working groups or the validation sub-committee to clarify. I would like to open the discussion here and see if there's anything that we should do in this working group, or just leave on to the others.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I think this is most obviously the domain of the validation subcommittee, which I think is why it was discussed there extensively last week. And why the current email thread has been forwarded to the validation subcommittee mailing list. I also think it's a fairly important topic and it's appropriate to discuss it in the parents working group of that subcommittee. For folks who haven't been following the mailing list, after the validation sub committee meeting last week, I put forward a proposal for a single sentence that could be added to the baseline requirements to make it very clear that third party recursive resolvers count as delegated third parties when performing DNS lookups for the purpose of any sort of domain validation. I don't feel super strongly about the sentence that I proposed. I just wanted to have a concrete starting point for people to discuss from there. So far no one has raised any objections to that proposed sentence. I think at this point, I'm sort of looking for; Do people have specific feedback on that proposed sentence, either whether we should add it or not? Also whether it should be phrased differently or not? If people don't have specific feedback on that sentence, then honestly, I think I would be looking for endorsers for a ballot to actually add it, because I think it's a very simple and straightforward path forward from here.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Dimitris:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>So, I like that approach. I tried to highlight that in my email in December. If we see concrete examples, of something that the community considers that it should not be allowed, like the DNS lookups. Also I would add the whois APIs, although the BRs are a little bit clearer in that respect, because it says the CA must directly communicate with the register. However, we could add that as well in this ballot. More like a clarification for the whois part. As we go forward and discuss the DTP in the validation subcommittee, or in this working group, in a more horizontal way. At the same time, we will have clear guidelines so that others are making similar mistakes. So, I'd be happy to endorse any ballot that is in this direction.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>David Kluge:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The question Aaron, if for me, in the sentence that you posted, it seemed to generalize it and say that all requests made to. Because if result of us, operated by third parties, would be deemed to delegate third parties. That narrows down all just the definition as it is at the moment. One of the factors that decides over whether it is one or not is whether the resolver is in the CAs audit’s scope. I wanted to understand a little more is what why do you think that's insignificant of the proposal that you made, as I read it, if that wasn't a significant factor.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I think that, if the recursive resolver is used by the CA, are within their audit scope, that's probably good enough for me. I think this is absolutely the sort of thing that can and should be workshopped as this moves towards actual ballot. You're right, there is a distinction between, operated by the CA and within the CAs audit scope. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Cade Cairns:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I have a quick question, or remark followed by a question, I guess, in reviewing the original ballot that introduced this language it seems looking at the emails. From the time that the intent wasn't so much to limit. Just DNS and we've also seen some discussions ,or DNS specifically, and it seems that there have also been some discussions on the mailing list about what other services might fall into scope. And I'm wondering if we should consider where to draw the line and be a little bit more specific, rather than targeting just DNS, as people could make the same argents about the network.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I absolutely agree. Backing up a second, it is my view that adding this proposed sentence does not change anything in the BRs, this is a clarification and that the same. Already exists in the BRs. So, adding additional clarifications for other services, like email providers, or whois, or things like that, certainly makes sense, should not be necessary, but in practice very well, maybe, et cetera, Et cetera. I think from my perspective, I am more than happy to continue discussion about other potential services that should have similar clarifications added. But I don't want to let bike shedding about who is an email services and stuff like that prevent us from getting a clarification like this into the docent. And so that's why I started with just this very simple sentence about DNS only and if we want to have the more complex discussions happen very quickly, then awesome, let's do it all in one ballot. I was very worried that they were going to expand the scope and I didn't want to let that derail this particular one.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Cade Cairns:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>That's fair and reasonable.

And then, I'll wait to get official confirmation from both Mads and Dimitris that they're willing to endorse that version of the language before, sending it as an actual beginning of discussion period. I think just so people have a heads up. I think what I will probably do is I will just change the very end of this sentence to say, “I E, without the use of recursive resolver is operated outside the CAs audit scope”, and just leave it at that for this version.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Dimitris:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Would you be willing to also add some clarification for the whois service, which has also been discussed in the community.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I would be happy to.

Just open two days ago. It's just how we clarify just when checking the TTL of the CAA records. Whichever is greater in the eight hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Clint Wilson:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I really just noticed this as I was reading through the S/MIME CA ballot that recently passed, and we voted in support of. So, I don't think this is something like a pressing issue, but in reading through it kind of struck me that it seems very counterintuitive to be setting a caching value that could be greater than the TTL, set on a resource record. The point of the TTL, is for the DNS operator to set that maxim value. Probably this should have been whichever is less from the beginning. I'm not sure of the history there or if there is any there, but it just seemed totally antithetical to the point of the TTL value in the first place. So that was kind of the first component of this that that I noticed. The second component of it was the recursive nature of DNS. Which means that we could be looking up multiple records in pulling the CAA Record. And it seems like it might make sense to be honouring those TTLs, like if you're if you're going through and you find a resource record necessary to resolve the CAA record that has a TTL lower than that of the CAA record itself. It seems like that's sort of the value that we should be pulling as the caching value. Because it's required to pull the CAA Record itself. So that is the kind of the second part of it. The first part, I feel more confident on, like, the whichever is less it seems correct and then the recursive thing, I think maybe it's is correct but I'm not as confident there.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>This is the thing that has also struck me as odd multiple times in my head. I convinced myself that it actually made sense. And I don't know if this is historical reasoning. The thing that convince me that it made sense is that looking up CAA Records is quite expensive. You might have to query many different DNS names as you work your way up the chain. If you don't find a CAA Record at any of the more deeply nested subdomains. And so, to me, the whichever is greater language made sense as a form of, if there was a long TTL on this, then you can respect that TTL. But if there's a very short TTL, you can still reuse the value you found for up to eight hours similar to how the BRs in general allow you to reuse the fact that you looked at the text record for 398 days. It’s just a very short version of the validation docent reuse. So that's how I convinced myself that the existing language made sense to avoid doing very expensive CAA queries, like every few minutes. Regarding your second point, I don't think there's a lot of purpose in keeping track of a bunch of different TTLs that you look up as you traverse upwards. As you traverse up, towards the root zone starting from this deeply sub domain, the results of the CA lookup at each of those points are either no record or some record. If there is some record, then you respect that one, and if there is no record, then there's not a TTL on no record. So I think we only have to care about the TTL of the CA Record you actually use.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Clint Wilson:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>To your first point, that does make some sense. I was just thinking of it more in like, DNS land and the first part is DNS land and the second part of the sentence is BR land, and it’s like two separate things. Like, we're not saying, ignore the TTL, we’re just saying reusing the data that’s been pulled as validation evidence. For the second part, that was kind of a similar conclusion that I came to. I don't know that this would actually change anything for anyone, if you're doing this recursive resolution of DNS records. You're basically going to find one record that has a TTL, but then it did seem like there were possibly circumstances where there would be DNS records that you relied on. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Tobias Josefowitz:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I wanted to mention the delegations, I definitely have some like 10 minute delegations, right? And okay, so they could change and then control could change and the CA Record could in that sense be outdated. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Corey Bonnell:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>It's not an issue filed on GitHub and definitely had some thoughts about some of the rationale and proposal being discussed. My understanding of the TTL, is that it's a directive to DNS revolvers on how long they can cash the retrieved record. It's not really a limitation on the end user application, retrieving the record and how long they can use it. So, you know, kind of a simple example that demonstrates that is someone that has a CAA Record, with a TTL of zero, which means it's an instruction to a DNS resolver to not cash that record, and catch it (retrieve it) fresh every time it's looked up. A TTL of zero would mean, though, if we extend that the CAA processing would mean that it would be impossible to get a certificate issue because the record would immediately expire. So, I think eight hours might be a bit long, but my understanding is that there Is there so domain owners that do have a of zero or a very, very small amount measured in seconds, are still able to get certificates issued. But the eight hours is sufficiently fresh so that there is a change in the DNS, the CA has to respect it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Clint Wilson:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I think that is reasonable. What Aaron said; sort of safety buffer for CAs to not need to just constantly query. I think that separation in my mind of just this is like a BR provision, rather than a DS provision. It’s downstream use of the record. Not actually caching the record itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Martijn Katerbarg:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I kind of agree. I'm not against switching it around, but in that case, I think maybe we need to state that. There's still a minim amount of time that could reuse it. Exactly. For the cases where maybe TTL is 10 seconds or less, or something like that. Tentative being leave the language as it is, but add a maxim time because I think that the real problem we could see here is that someone could have said a TTL for 25 years. And then could use the same record for 25 years and I'm thinking that's exactly the type of thing we do want to prevent. So, maybe if we don't want to switch it around, we should probably, at least at a maxim to that to what we're going to allow. So either minim or maxim, and I support right away.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Aaron Gable:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I personally really like the number of eight hours, simply because Let's Encrypt would like to reduce our domain control validation, docent reuse timeline to exactly match the CAA timeline. So we are either checking domain control validation and CAA at the same time, or reusing both and never reusing domain control validation, by having to recheck CAA just for simplicity purposes. Reducing it below eight hours would start making that comparatively difficult. Obviously not impossible, there are CAs that never do domain control validation reuse at all, but our scale having some amounts of reuse is very handy for us. I prefer to not reduce it below eight hours, But that's a very weak reference that certainly could be overruled by other factors.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-GB>Valid Status</span></u><span lang=EN-GB><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Inigo:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>All right, move to the next topic, which is the valid status.
