[cabfpub] Ballot 196: Define "Audit Period"

[Gervase Markham]

*Ballot 196 - Define "Audit Period"
*

*Purpose of Ballot: *It appears that CAs are sometimes confused by the
phrase Audit Period. This ballot adds a definition of that phrase to the
BRs, in the hope of heading off any further misunderstandings.

The following motion has been proposed by Gervase Markham of Mozilla and
endorsed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and Jody Cloutier of Microsoft:

-- MOTION BEGINS --

Add the following definition to section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements:

*Audit Period:* In a period-of-time audit, the period between the first day (start) and
the last day of operations (end) covered by the auditors in their
engagement. (This is not the same as the period of time when the auditors are on-site at the CA.) The coverage rules and maximum length of audit periods are defined in section 8.1.

-- MOTION ENDS --
