[cabf_governance] Draft email on new Server Certificate Working Group for editing

[Ben Wilson]

We need to have Server Certificate Working Group members or DigiCert and
Entrust will be the only CABF members on July 3 .  I think that we need to
send out an email telling people how they become members of the Working
Group.  The Bylaws state, "[they must] have formally declared their
participation in the CWG via the mechanism designated by the Forum prior to
attending."

 

But has the Forum designated the mechanism?

 

I was thinking members should be required to:

 

1.	email the public list (or alternatively email the WG chair and
vice-chair) and formally declare their participation in the Server
Certificate Working Group;
2.	subscribe to the mailing list -
https://cabforum.org/mailman/listinfo/servercert-wg; and 
3.	list their names here
https://cabforum.org/wiki/Server%20Certificate%20Working%20Group as follows:


The following have formally declared their participation in the Server
Certificate Working Group: 


Name 

Date of Declaration 

Date of Withdrawal 


Digicert, Inc. 

28 June 2018 

	

 

Thoughts?  Should I send this to the Management list and then follow up by
sending this to the Public list?

This is the point I raised at the end of the call.  I think we may need to
wait until July 3 to start transition actions, just so that it is clear that
the new bylaws are in effect.

 

However this does not prevent us from discussing what those actions are in
advance, so that we can proceed rapidly with them at the appropriate time.
This could include having a draft ballot of the election procedures that
could be submitted as SCWG Ballot 1.

I agree that the SCWG itself exists now, and you and I are Vice Chair and
Chair, but we have no enumerated powers to start anything until July 3 - so
maybe we rephrase the message that way, and again do nothing until July 3.
