[cabfpub] Ballot 195 - CAA Fixup is in the DISCUSSION period (ends April 10)

Mon Apr 10 16:27:23 UTC 2017

As I proposed earlier, can we amend this so that instead of saying:

"CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags as specified
in RFC 6844, although they are not required to act on the contents of the
iodef property tag."

We say 

"CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags as specified
in RFC 6844 as updated by errata 4992, although they are not required to act
on the contents of the iodef property tag."

Otherwise we will need a second amendment ballot on this section.
