[cabfpub] Ballot 185 - Limiting the Lifetime of Certificates

[Scott Rea]

G'day Ryan,

I think I must have missed the "general agreement" posts on the list.
Minor changes are the discretion of ballot producers and endorsers, did
this "general agreement" you are referring to happen off list? Who was
involved in the "general agreement" process?

Regards,
-Scott
