Subject: [cabfpub] Ballot 196: Define "Audit Period"

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 --



The procedure for approval of this Final Maintenance Guideline ballot is as follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):



BALLOT 196

Such redline or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time a ballot is proposed, and need not take into consideration other ballots that may be proposed subsequently, except as provided in Bylaw Section 2.3(j).
