Subject: [cabfpub] Ballot 197 ¨C Effective Date of Ballot 193 Provisions
(amended April 26)

Sorry, I lost version control on Ballot 197 (originally sent to the Public
list on April 19) in my message earlier today ¨C we are still in the
Discussion Period, and so we can clearly make amendments.

To restate my earlier message, based on discussions on the list about the
uncertain status of Ballot 194, the proposer and endorsers for Ballot 197
wish to amend Ballot 197 as shown below and on the attached.  The amendment
is basically to add a Section 3 that says: ¡°"Section 3: The vote on Ballot
194 and the Review Period notice issued for Ballot 194 are hereby declared
null and void and of no effect, and are rescinded.¡±  

Voting on this amended ballot will begin tomorrow, April 26, at 22:00 UTC.

Ballot 197 ¨C Effective Date of Ballot 193 Provisions (amended April 26)

Recent Ballot 193 reduced the maximum period for certificates and for reuse
of vetting data for DV and OV certificates from 39 months to 825 days.  The
effective date for reducing the maximum validity period of certificates was
specified as March 1, 2018, but no effective date was specified for when the
reduction of the maximum period for reuse of vetting data becomes effective.

It was the intention of the authors of Ballot 193 that the effective date
for reducing the maximum period for reuse of vetting data under BR 4.2.1
would also be March 1, 2018.  This ballot is intended to clarify that
intention.  The ballot also makes these changes retroactive to the effective
date of Ballot 193 so there is no gap period.

Ballot 193 is in the Review Period (which will end on April 22, 2017), and
has not yet taken effect.  Bylaw 2.3 states that Ballots should include a
¡°redline or comparison showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline
section(s) intended to become a Final Maintenance Guideline¡± and that
¡°[s]uch redline or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline
section(s) as they exist at the time a ballot is proposed¡±.

To avoid confusion, this Ballot will show the proposed changes to BR 4.2.1
will be presented two ways: (1) a comparison of the changes to BR 4.2.1 as
it existed before Ballot 193 (which is as BR 4.2.1 exists at this time this
ballot is proposed), and also (2) a comparison of the changes to BR 4.2.1 as
it will exist after the Review Period for Ballot 193 is completed (assuming
no Exclusion Notices are filed).

The following motion has been proposed by Chris Bailey of Entrust Datacard
and endorsed by Ben Wilson of DigiCert, and Wayne Thayer of GoDaddy to
introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the "Baseline Requirements
Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted
Certificates" (Baseline Requirements) and the "Guidelines for the Issuance
and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" (EV Guidelines).

-- MOTION BEGINS --
