[cabfpub] [EXTERNAL] Forbid DTPs from doing Domain/IP Ownership Validation ballot draft

[Jeremy Rowley]

A broad removal of DTPs would be difficult for anyone using any sort of hosted services.  Scoping the removal to 3.2.2.4 is fine (and in-line with Gerv's original proposal).

Looking back at the BRs, you might be right.  If anyone is reading DTP to cover the data center or security guard examples above, then simply removing DTP is too broad a brush.

We can probably scope the removal of DTP to 3.2.2.4.

Thanks,
