[Ben Wilson]

Thanks.

I’ll take a look at it and see about merging the two.

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone in the Forum that I'm not a big fan of a blanket policy for CA discretion, much like the any other method concerns :)



Jeremy previously had a pretty good draft here, but didn't go forward with it. That's captured in https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2015-March/005312.html



Are there new concerns why that approach wouldn't work?

   All,



   Attached is a redlined Word doc containing sections 4.9.1.1 and 4.9.5 of the  Baseline Requirements.  To provide greater flexibility when revoking certificates, I am proposing that we remove the 24-hour revocation requirement from section 4.9.1.1 and replacing it with a criteria-based process found in section 4.9.5.  Section 4.9.5 (Time within which CA Must Process the Revocation Request) would read:



   The CA SHALL begin an investigation of the facts and circumstances related to a Certificate Problem Report or other revocation-related notice within one business day of receipt. After reviewing the facts and circumstances, the CA SHALL work with any entity reporting the Certificate Problem Report or other revocation-related notice to establish a date when the CA will revoke the Certificate or take whatever other appropriate action is warranted. The date selected by the CA SHOULD consider the following criteria:

   1. The nature of the alleged problem (scope, context, severity, magnitude, risk of harm);

   2. The consequences of revocation (direct and collateral impacts to Subscribers and Relying Parties);

   3. The number of Certificate Problem Reports received about a particular Certificate or Subscriber;

   4. The entity making the complaint (for example, a complaint from a law enforcement official that a Web site is engaged in illegal activities should carry more weight than a complaint from a consumer alleging that she didn’t receive the goods she ordered); and

   5. Relevant legislation.
