Would anyone have an objection if we just changed the “6” to an “f” since it’s an obvious erratum / minor transcription error?

Subject: [cabfpub] Bylaw correction pre-ballot

 

I noticed an error when I was reviewing the bylaws after a recent vote. The current bylaws (section 2.2) read as follows:

 

 

2.2       Ballots Among Forum Members

 

Ballots will be conducted in accordance with the following rules. 

 

(a)  Only votes by Members shall be accepted. 

 

(b)  Only one vote per Member company shall be accepted; representatives of corporate affiliates shall not vote. 

 

(c)  A representative of any Member can call for a proposed ballot to be published for review and comment by the membership. Any proposed ballot needs two endorsements by other Members in order to proceed. The review period then shall take place for at least seven calendar-days before votes are cast. 

 

(d)  The CA/Browser Forum shall provide seven calendar-days for voting, with the deadline clearly communicated via the members’ electronic mailing list. All voting will take place online via the members’ electronic mailing list. 

 

(e)  Only votes that indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response to the ballot question shall be considered (i.e. votes to abstain and votes that do not indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response will not figure in the calculation of item 6, below). 

 

(f)   Members fall into two categories: CAs (comprising issuing CAs and root CAs, as defined in the membership criteria) and product suppliers (as defined in the membership criteria). In order for the motion to be adopted by the Forum, two-thirds or more of the votes cast by the Members in the CA category must be in favor of the motion, and at least 50% plus one of the votes cast by the members in the browser category must be in favor of the motion.  At least one CA Member and one browser Member must vote in favor of a ballot for the ballot to be adopted.

 

(g)  A ballot result will be considered valid only when more than half of the number of currently active members has participated. The number of currently active members is the average number of member organizations that have participated in the previous three meetings (both teleconferences and face-to-face meetings).

 

(h)  The CA/Browser Forum will tabulate and announce the results within one calendar-day of the close of the voting period. 

 

There is no “item 6, below” in (e) but in talking to Kirk who wrote this, he took it from the old website and forgot to change “6” to “f”.

 

Does anyone have any other bylaw corrections that we could put into 1 ballot?

Thanks
Dean
