<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Summary</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The TLS Baseline Requirements currently state an OV certificate may contain either a DBA / Assumed Name or Legal Name. The EVGs and SBRs allow for the common format of "DBA (Legal Name)".
This ballot aims to align the practices for OV certificates with this. <br>
<br>
While still allowing the inclusion of the sole DBA / Assumed Name, it will also allow for the "DBA (Legal Name)" format to be used, allowing CAs to align practices with the EVG and SBRs.</p>
