>
> The CA/Browser Forum currently has two code signing requirements 
> documents: 1) Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of 
> Publicly‐Trusted Code Signing Certificates and 2) Guidelines For The 
> Issuance And Management Of Extended Validation Code Signing 
> Certificates. The two documents are in similar format and cover many 
> of the same requirements. CAs which issue both types of certificates 
> must adhere to both documents and must be audited to two sets of 
> criteria. CA/Browser Forum members also need to manage two sets of 
> criteria. Auditors need to manage two sets of audit criteria.

> The greater goal is to 1) migrate the documents into one document

> which will be in line with CPS format requirements and 3) change and 
> manage the requirements in an ongoing process.
