[cabfpub] Merge EV Guidelines into Baseline Requirements CP?

[Tim Hollebeek]

I tend to agree with this.  I'd prefer a separate document, even if much of it is "Section X: As in the baseline requirements".

Ben,

I'm thinking that this will start to make it hard to understand what is EV and what is not. It might also be hard for the auditing community to mage their EV audit criteria.

Currently, we can align Baseline Requirements with a Baseline Requirements audit criteria; we can also do the same for EV. If we merge the two together can we still separate them for CAs which do not issue EV certificates?

Bruce.

As I've looked at what is ahead of us (in the Policy Review Working Group), I have concluded that I'd prefer to put the EV Guidelines into the Baseline Requirements CP.  The EV Guidelines would lose their identity as a separate document, but if we merge the two, we can avoid a lot of back and forth between two documents because everything would be in one document.  Other CPs have taken this approach of having multiple policies in the same CP document.  Not sure what other people think, but I thought I'd mention this idea here, in case it helps guide the WG as we review the EVG document in the upcoming weeks.  (I did send out a rough draft of an RFC-3647-formatted EV Guidelines to the Policy Review Working Group to get us started.)  If people are amenable to merging the documents, then that might save us some work in the long run.  Otherwise, we can move forward with editing of the RFC-3647 formatted version of the EV Guidelines as a separate document, which is fine, too.
