However, the industry has developed open-source tools, linters, that are free to use and can help CAs avoid certificate misissuance. Using such linters before issuing a precertificate from a Publicly-Trusted CA (pre-issuance linting) can prevent the mis-issuance in a wide variety of cases.<o:p></o:p></p><p id=bkmrk-the-following-motion>The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Corey Bonnell of Digicert and Ben Wilson of Mozilla.<o:p></o:p></p><p id=bkmrk-you-can-view-and-com>You can view the GitHub pull request representing this ballot <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcabforum%2Fservercert%2Fpull%2F518&data=05%7C02%7Cmartijn.katerbarg%40sectigo.com%7C4f08a6cb46f94d8303be08dc89393e45%7C0e9c48946caa465d96604b6968b49fb7%7C0%7C0%7C638536126159182982%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8UNBMOzqoiWCRqa8mSWP97aUBmMeLVPtDLBQ7qNYJuU%3D&reserved=0">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><h2 id=bkmrk-motion-begins>Motion Begins<o:p></o:p></h2><p id="bkmrk-modify-the-%22baseline">MODIFY the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Server Certificates" based on Version 2.0.5 as specified in the following redline:<o:p></o:p></p><ul type=disc id="bkmrk-https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fc"><li class=null style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcabforum%2Fservercert%2Fcompare%2F20af1b271f2b689344ae353d3e78dc6b772199db...cc88926a3dee348a364542e5e259e9c7cab1f747&data=05%7C02%7Cmartijn.katerbarg%40sectigo.com%7C4f08a6cb46f94d8303be08dc89393e45%7C0e9c48946caa465d96604b6968b49fb7%7C0%7C0%7C638536126159193852%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=evt9RYpYgB3cPSc9gj3A9AakPW04Ivyf%2FobDHIeU4CE%3D&reserved=0">https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/20af1b271f2b689344ae353d3e78dc6b772199db...cc88926a3dee348a364542e5e259e9c7cab1f747</a><o:p></o:p></li></ul><h2 id=bkmrk-motion-ends>Motion Ends<o:p></o:p></h2><p id=bkmrk-this-ballot-proposes>This ballot proposes a Final Maintenance Guideline.
