I’m happy to make the motion or endorse removal of these exceptions.

The BRs contain at least two allowances for “legacy” certificate issuance:

6.1.7 (5) allows direct issuance of subscriber certificates from a root CA

6.3.2 allows certificates with validity periods longer than 39 months

Are these still needed?  Are CAs relying upon these exceptions?  If not, does it make sense to ballot to remove these from the BRs?

 

Peter, I'd be happy to support a ballot if you want to propose one. That tends to be the only way to get timely responses - the discussion period of the ballot. 

 

As an Associate Member, I cannot propose ballots.  Only those who have a full period-of-time audit can propose ballots.  Or at least that is my read of the bylaws.
