[cabfpub] Ballot 159 - Amend Section 4 of Baseline Requirements

[Rick Andrews]

Ben,

 

"3) In Section 4.5.1 of the Baseline Requirements, add "Subscribers SHALL
comply with Sections 4.9.3(2) and 4.9.3(4)."" I don't see (2) and (4) in
4.9.3. Is that the right Section number?

 

-Rick

Ballot 159 - Amend Section 4 of Baseline Requirements

 

The Policy Review Working Group has reviewed Section 4 of the Baseline
Requirements and, as a result, suggests that certain changes be made.  Based
on the lack of urgency for these changes and other considerations, the
Working Group recommends that, if any compliance is required, Certification
Authorities be given until January 1, 2017 before they are required to
comply.  Therefore, the following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of
DigiCert and endorsed by  Tim Hollebeek of Trustwave and Kirk Hall of
TrendMicro:

 

-- MOTION BEGINS -- 

 

Effective immediately

 

1) In Sections 4.2.3, 4.3.2, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.5.2, 4.6.1, 4.6.2,

4.10.3, 4.11, and 4.12.1 of the Baseline Requirements, add "No stipulation."

 

2) In Sections 4.9.14, 4.9.15, 4.9.16, and 4.12.2 of the Baseline
Requirements, add "Not applicable." 

 

3) In Section 4.5.1 of the Baseline Requirements, add "Subscribers SHALL
comply with Sections 4.9.3(2) and 4.9.3(4)."

 

4) In Section 4.9.2 of the Baseline Requirements, add "The Subscriber can
initiate revocation. Other parties who can request revocation include: the
general public,

the press/news media, or an Application Software Provider.

See also Section 3.4."

 

5) In Section 4.9.6 of the Baseline Requirements, add "No stipulation.

(Note: Following certificate issuance, a certificate may be revoked for

Therefore, relying parties should check the revocation status of all
certificates that contain a CDP or OCSP

pointer.)"
