OK, we can circle back on this around April 3rd.

Thanks Ben, Dean, and for everyone who has worked so hard in contributing to this effort.

Seeing how hard it has been for CAs to meet the Baseline Requirements, and how frequently they have still passed their audits with flying colors while doing egregious violations, I'm profoundly appreciative of the work to make the BRs (and EVGs) something that more people can crosscheck and review against CA's CP/CPSes. My hope is that everything was able to be successfully captured, and I appreciate the extra time to review and provide further questions.

I’m fine, too, with adding one additional week to the ballot review period and then extending it another week if needed.

I would be supportive of extending this. It sounds like the benefits were made evident in your recent review of CPS documents and we hope others will also feel the same.

Thanks for continuing to push on this, Ben.

 

>From our point of view, this is a huge change. It's probably a good one (as discussed during the F2F, this could be tremendously helpful). But it's going to take a lot of careful review for us to cross-check the CP Review WG's work, in part because I can't seem to find public archives that might be able to answer questions.

 

Because of this, I'm not sure if we'll be able to complete the review by the time the ballot closes. If that happens, we may decide to vote against it, simply on the "needs more time", even though, as discussed during the F2F, I think we'd be quite supportive of this effort (having reviewed several CA's CP/CPS this week, I certainly found myself using the draft as a helpful crib sheet).

 

Since we haven't really looked closely at this until the discussions at the most recent F2F, would you and the cosponsors be willing to delay starting this ballot by a week (or two), and/or seek to extend the review period? This is probably the single largest change the Forum has ever proposed, and I want to make sure it gets the due attention it deserves, while also not delaying it indefinitely for "more review".

 

Would that be something you would be OK with?
