Shouldn't organizations that meet the Issuing CA or Root CA criteria that
also produce a software product intended for use by the general public for
browsing the Web securely have the option of whether to participate as a CA
Class or Browser Class member? 

Peter / Gerv

Give options to prospective members on which categories of membership they
can join. Propose a waiting period to prevent switching class of voting to
game the system.

What happens to existing documents? 

		Comment 

Does the Server Cert WG need to re-adopt guidelines? No. Ballot 206 and the
Charter mentions the guidelines. A new NetSec WG may take the NetSec
requirements from the Server Cert WG.

participation in Forum calls, meetings, activities, and events shall be
suspended until the agreement is signed and returned"

Ben/Virginia

12 

Clarify applicability of Bylaws to CWGs 

Kirk 

7/10/2018 

		

13 

Need to clarify declarations of membership and determination of
qualification is at the WG level 

Jos / Tim 

9/4/2018 

		

14 

Clarify language around the Membership Criteria for Certificate Issuers. It
is not clear whether a Point-in-Time Audit (or ETSI initialization audit) is
considered sufficient for Full Membership. The language used is consider
ambiguous enough. The intent of the Forum Members as expressed via Doodle
Poll, is that in order for an Applicant to obtain Full Membership, they must
have a successful Period-of-Time Audit. The Point-in-Time Audit should be
considered sufficient for Associate Membership. Relevant sections to discuss
and fix are: 2.1(a) "successful WebTrust for CAs audit or ETSI EN 319 411-1
audit report" AND 2.1(b) (6) "URL of the current qualifying performance
audit report."

Clarify how to perform election ballots and whether we need to follow the
global ballot principles (one proposer, two endorsers) for the cases of only
one candidate or with multiple candidates. 

Dimitris

17 

Allow a Bylaws "subcommittee" to operate under the umbrella of the CABF
plenary
