Point of order: I believe your inclusion of Inigo as an endorser is in
error.  Unless I missed some other response, his reply was a '+1' to
Sigbjorn's reply and very much against this ballot.

Ballot 106 - Extended Deadline to Prohibit OCSP "Good" Response for
Non-Issued Certificates

 

Given that several CAs have notified the CA/Browser Forum that they will be
unable to comply with the 1-August-2013 deadline by which OCSP responders
MUST NOT respond with a "good" status for unissued certificates, and that a
one-year extension of this deadline is an appropriate timeframe by which
these CAs should be able to come into compliance;

 

Kelvin Yiu made the following motion, and Eddy Nigg from StartCom,  Ryan
Hurst from GlobalSign,  and Iida Yosiaki from SECOM, and Inigo Barreira of
Izenpe endorsed it: 

 

Motion Begins 

 

EFFECTIVE RETROACTIVELY TO 1 AUGUST 2013,

 

The last sentence of Section 13.2.6 of the Baseline Requirements (Response
for non-issued certificates) is hereby amended to read as follows:   

 

"Effective 1 August 2014, OCSP responders MUST NOT respond with a "good"
status for such certificates."

 

Motion Ends

 

The ballot review period comes into effect immediately upon posting today
(Tuesday, 23 July 2013) and will close at 2200 UTC on Tuesday, 30 July 2013.
Unless the ballot is withdrawn or modified during the review period, the
voting period will start immediately thereafter and will close at 2200 UTC
on Tuesday, 6 August 2013.  If the ballot is modified for reasons other than

have been withdrawn.

 

Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread.

 

A vote in favor of the ballot must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response.

 

A vote against the ballot must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote
to abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear

be counted.

 

Voting members are listed here: http://www.cabforum.org/forum.html

 

In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast
by members in the CA category and more than one half of the votes cast by
members in the browser category must be in favor. Also, quorum is currently
set at seven (7) members-- at least seven members must participate in the
ballot, either by voting in favor, voting against, or by abstaining for the
vote to be valid.
