Ballot 189 - Amend Section 6.1.7 of Baseline Requirements
The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Bruce Morton of Entrust and Jeremy Rowley of Digicert
Background: 
Section 6.1.7 of the Baseline Requirements states that the Root CA Private Keys MUST NOT be used to sign end-entity certificates, with some exceptions. It is unclear if this exception list includes end-entity certificates with EKU id-kp-timeStamping. This ballot attempts to clarify two things: 
that it affects Root Keys in a hierarchy that issues SSL Certificates and that it does not include time stamping certificates in the exception list. It also clears the exception language for 1024-bit RSA Subscriber Certificates and testing products with Certificates issued by a Root.
-- MOTION BEGINS -- 
Current section 6.1.7 
Root CA Private Keys MUST NOT be used to sign Certificates except in the following cases:
Self-signed Certificates to represent the Root Certificate itself; Certificates for Subordinate CAs and Cross Certificates; Certificates for infrastructure purposes (e.g. administrative role certificates, internal CA operational device certificates, and OCSP Response verification Certificates);Certificates issued solely for the purpose of testing products with Certificates issued by a Root CA; andSubscriber Certificates, provided that: The Root CA uses a 1024-bit RSA signing key that was created prior to the Effective Date;The Applicant’s application was deployed prior to the Effective Date; The Applicant’s application is in active use by the Applicant or the CA uses a documented process to establish that the Certificate’s use is required by a substantial number of Relying Parties;The CA follows a documented process to determine that the Applicant’s application poses no known security risks to Relying Parties;The CA documents that the Applicant’s application cannot be patched or replaced without substantial economic outlay.The CA signs the Subscriber Certificate on or before June 30, 2016; and The notBefore field in the Subscriber Certificate has a date on or before June 30, 2016Proposed section 6.1.7 
Private Keys corresponding to Root Certificates MUST NOT be used to sign Certificates except in the following cases:
Self-signed Certificates to represent the Root CA itself; Certificates for Subordinate CAs and Cross Certificates; Certificates for infrastructure purposes (administrative role certificates, internal CA operational device certificates)Certificates for OCSP Response verification; These changes become Effective 30 days after the ballot passes.
