CRL Revocation Date Clarification

Purpose of this ballot:
While RFC 5280, section 5.3.2 specifies that it is best practice to include the Invalidity Date CRL entry extension to denote when a certificate first became invalid, Certificate Consumer software commonly ignores this extension in favor of using the time encoded in the CRL entry revocationDate field for this purpose. This ballot clarifies that CAs shall use the revocationDate to denote when a certificate first became invalid even if that time precedes issuance of the latest CRL. Additionally, this ballot clarifies that if the CA is becomes aware of a more appropriate revocation date for a revoked Code Signing Certificate, then the CA may include this date in subsequently issued CRLs and OCSP responses pertaining to that revoked Code Signing Certificate.

The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell of DigiCert and endorsed by Rob Stradling of Sectigo and Bruce Morton of Entrust.

MOTION BEGINS
