Ballot 143 - Formalization of validation working group

 

----

Reason 

----

 

In order to address validation issues and inconsistencies in both the SSL
Baseline Requirements and the EV Guidelines, the CAB Forum has held an
informal working group previously referred to as the Extended Validation
Working Group now known as the Validation Working Group, would like to
modify its scope to include validation in the Baseline Requirements as well
as the EV Guidelines.  

 

Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert made the following motion, which was endorsed by
Rich Smith of Comodo and Kirk Hall of TrendMicro

Motion begins

The CA-Browser Forum formally establishes the Validation Working Group as an
official working group of the CAB Forum, replacing the previous informal EV
working group.  The scope of this working group is to address issues arising
under adopted CAB Forum standards related to the validation of certificate
information and the inclusion of information in certificates.  

 

Scope: The Validation Working Group will consider all matters relating to
the validation and inclusion of information in certificates under adopted
CAB Forum guidelines. 

 

Deliverables: The Working Group shall produce one or more documents offering
options to the Forum for validation within the scope defined above.
