[cabfpub] Ballot 169 problem report

[Mads Egil Henriksveen]

Hi Robin

I noticed this and mentioned it at time of voting - see attachment.

I think we should change the reference points to 4.2.1.

Ballot 169 - “Revised Validation Requirements” introduced text into section 3.2.2.4 which refers to section 3.3.1.

“3.2.2.4
…
Completed confirmations of Applicant authority may be valid for the issuance of multiple certificates over time. In all cases, the confirmation must have been initiated within the time period specified in the relevant requirement (such as Section 3.3.1 of this document) prior to certificate issuance. For purposes of domain validation, the term Applicant includes the Applicant's Parent Company, Subsidiary Company, or Affiliate.
…“

Section 3.3.1 of the BRs now consists only of the section heading, with no body text.
“3.3.1. Identification and Authentication for Routine Re‐key”

The text which was at 3.3.1 in the guidelines when we started working on what became ballot 169 read:
Section 6.3.2 limits the validity period of Subscriber Certificates. The CA MAY use the documents and data
provided in Section 3.2 to verify certificate information, provided that the CA obtained the data or document
from a source specified under Section 3.2 no more than thirty‐nine (39) months prior to issuing the
Certificate.
(taken from version 1.3.0 of the BRs)

That text now appears as the third paragraph of 4.2.1 (Performing Identification and Authentication Functions)

Should we move that text back into 3.3.1, or should we change 3.2.2.4 so that the reference points to 4.2.1 instead of pointing to 3.3.1?
