Ballots 154 and 155 - Convert to RFC 3647 Framework and GitHub

The Certificate Policy Review Working Group was chartered by Ballot 128 to
(i) consider existing and proposed standards, (ii) create a list of
potential improvements based on the considered standards that improve the
existing CAB Forum work product, (iii) evaluate the transition to a 3647
format based on the amount of work involved. 

The CP Review WG has met and concluded that the best path forward for the
Forum is to complete a conversion to the RFC 3647 framework for the EV
Guidelines and the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements and
to post them on GitHub as the canonical versions of those documents. 

Ben Wilson of DigiCert makes the following motions, and Dean Coclin from
Symantec and Gerv Markham from Mozilla have endorsed them. 

- - - - Motion for Ballot 154 - - - -

Be it resolved that the CA / Browser Forum directs the Certificate Policy
Review Working Group to prepare a version of the EV Guidelines that moves
existing content into the RFC 3647 format;

Be it further resolved that the CA / Browser Forum also directs the
Certificate Policy Review Working Group to post the RFC-3647-formatted EV
Guidelines on GitHub to serve, upon formal adoption by the Forum in a future
ballot, as the canonical version of the EV Guidelines.

Be it further resolved that the CA / Browser Forum also directs the
Certificate Policy Review Working Group to post the RFC-3647-formatted
Network and Certificate System Security Requirements on GitHub to serve,
