As there is concern that the changes in section 7 of the BR in Ballot 167 would have an unintended consequences, I’m proposing this ballot.  I hope that this will resolve those concerns.

Thanks,

Background: Ballot 167 added an explicit list of RFCs to which Certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists must conform.  The ballot was not clear that the Baseline Requirements can specify exceptions to the RFC conformance requirement.  This is ballot makes such clear.

----BEGIN MOTION----

Retroactive to the date of passage of ballot 167, append the following sentence to the introduction paragraph of section 7 of the Baseline Requirements:

"Where there is a conflict between these Requirements and an RFC, these Requirements control.”
