It’s been brought to my attention I did not explicitly state our vote is “Abstain”.

GlobalSign believes in this amendment and would like to see the described behavior become the codified behavior for all OCSP servers.

 

We like others use third-party products to offer our OCSP responses and have not had sufficient time to work on a plan with those vendors to get timelines for the associated changes in place.

 

And while we feel the extension from six months to one year helps address this problem I am still unsure of what my vendors ability to respond is on this issue and starting over by building my own would likely take longer than the allotted time given existing commitments.

 

As such unfortunately we cannot vote yes at this time, if the period were extended an additional six months I feel I could find a way to make it happen and would be able to vote yes. 

 

Alternatively if the vote was withheld for a few weeks I could begin to work with my suppliers to identify what reasonable timeframe could be met at which point I could understand what timeframe we could commit to.

Effective 1 August 2013, OCSP responders MUST NOT respond with a "good" status for such certificates."

... Erratum ends ...

The ballot review period comes into effect at 21:00 UTC on 19 July 2012 and will close at 21:00 UTC on 26 July 2012.
