[cabfpub] Validation WG

[Dean Coclin]

In my opinion, this working group was properly chartered in Ballot 143 (which I note Mozilla voted YES).  The working group was never formally terminated but rather was put in a "dormant" status since the production of ballot 169. I think working group members needed a break after 1.5 years of work. Restarting the work of this group shouldn't require a ballot unless the scope has changed.

We haven't been putting in "end dates" for working groups rather, deliverables which more accurately reflect the mission of the group. 

Code Signing was a different issue as I believe the argument there was there wasn't a formal ballot to charter the group.

Not wanting to be a process geek, but does it require a ballot to restart a WG?

Checking the wiki, it seems like we didn't follow the Bylaws when we created it and outline a "Working Group expiration date" (Bylaws section
5.3):
https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/143%20-%20Formalization%20of%20validation%20working%20group

Did we raise this issue before in the context of this WG, or not? (I know it came up in the context of the Code Signing WG...)
