Subject: [cabfpub] Ballot 122 - Verified Method of Communication

Voting starts today.  (Unless otherwise told, I am counting the votes received already from SECOM and Actalis.)
Ballot 122 - Verified Method of Communication
The EV Guidelines Working Group has completed its review of Section 11.4.2 of the EV Guidelines (Telephone Number for Applicant’s Place of Business). The purpose of the review was to "develop a more international process for verifying contact information,” especially to transition away from a landline-centric focus. The purpose of Section 11.4.2 has been to ensure a means for communicating with an organization (to verify the authority of EV roles and ensure that it was appropriately aware of the certificate request) and to provide additional evidence of an organization's existence. This is maintained by the proposed replacement language.
Cecilia Kam of Symantec made the following motion, and Rich Smith from Comodo and Jeremy Rowley from DigiCert have endorsed it.
Motion Begins
1. Create a new definition for a "Verified Method of Communication" in the EV Guidelines:
" Verified Method of Communication: The use of a public telecommunication routing number (ITU- T E.164-compliant fixed, mobile, fax, or SMS), an email address, or a postal delivery address, confirmed by the CA in accordance with Section 11.4.2 of the Guidelines as a reliable way of communicating with the Applicant."
2. DELETE Section 11.4.2 (Telephone Number for Applicant's Place of Business) and INSERT the following:
"11.4.2 Verified Method of Communication
(1) Verification Requirements: To assist in communicating with the Applicant and confirming that the Applicant is aware of and approves issuance, the CA MUST establish at least one Verified Method of Communication with the Applicant.
(2) Acceptable Methods of Verification: To verify a Verified Method of Communication with the Applicant, the CA MUST:
(A) Verify that the number or address belongs to the Applicant, or a Parent or Affiliate of the Applicant, by matching it with one of the Applicant’s Places of Business in: (i) records provided by the applicable phone company; (ii) a QGIS, QTIS, or QIIS; or (iii) a Verified Legal Opinion or Verified Accountant Letter; and
(B) Confirm the Verified Method of Communication by using it to obtain an affirmative response sufficient to enable a reasonable person to conclude that the Applicant, or a Parent or Affiliate of Applicant, can be contacted reliably by using the Verified Method of Communication.
3. In subsection 11.13.1(1)(D), REPLACE "Telephone number for Place of Business" with "Verified Method of Communication."
4. REPLACE subsection 11.13.3(1)(C) with "The Verified Method of Communication required by Section 11.4.2, but still MUST perform the verification required by Section 11.4.2(2)(B);"
