Subject: [EXTERNAL][cabfpub] Two amendments to Ballot 190

The proposer and endorsers are making two minor amendments to Ballot 190 as follows.



1) In BR 3.2.2.4.6 "Agreed-Upon Change to Website", the current draft Version 8 still has the typo "Request Value" that crept in sometime around BR 1.4. It should be "Random Value".  Accordingly, BR 3.2.2.4.6 in Ballot 190 is changed to read as follows:


3.2.2.4.6 Agreed-Upon Change to Website

Confirming the Applicant's control over the FQDN by confirming one of the following under the "/.well-known/pki-validation" directory, or another path registered with IANA for the purpose of Domain Validation, on the Authorization Domain Name that is accessible by the CA via HTTP/HTTPS over an Authorized Port:

1.       The presence of Required Website Content contained in the content of a file. The entire Required Website Content MUST NOT appear in the request used to retrieve the file or web page, or

2.       The presence of the Request Token or Request Random Value contained in the content of a file where the Request Token or Random Value MUST NOT appear in the request. ***



2) In Version 8 of BR 3.2.2.4.7, "DNS Change", the current language says:



"Confirming the Applicant's control over the FQDN by confirming the presence of a Random Value or Request Token for either in a DNS CNAME, TXT or CAA record for either 1) an Authorization Domain Name; or 2) an Authorization Domain Name that is prefixed with a label that begins with an underscore character."



Note that "for either" appears twice in the sentence, and we think the first occurrence should be deleted.  Accordingly, BR 3.2.2.4.7 in Ballot 190 is changed to read as follows:

3.2.2.4.7  DNS Change
Confirming the Applicant's control over the FQDN by confirming the presence of a Random Value or Request Token for either in a DNS CNAME, TXT or CAA record for either 1) an Authorization Domain Name; or 2) an Authorization Domain Name that is prefixed with a label that begins with an underscore character.

Voting on Ballot 190 will begin tomorrow, and the text has been changed as shown above.

Subject: [EXTERNAL][cabfpub] Ballot 190 - Discussion Period is starting

As agreed on our CABF teleconference last week, we are starting the formal discussion period for Ballot 190 (in this case, v8).  I have attached the ballot in two formats and in three modes.

The title of the actual ballot to be voted on uses all capital letters "BALLOT 190 v8 (9-5-2017)".  I also attach a version that includes some explanatory comments, and a "clean" version showing how the BRs will read if Ballot 190 v8 is adopted "Ballot 190 v8 (9-5-2017) (showing BRs if adopted)".

The discussion period ends Sept. 12 at 18:00 UTC, and the voting period runs Sept. 12-19.

This version 8 is based on the prior version 7, but includes a limited number of changes as outlined in emails among me, Ryan, and Doug on Aug. 29-30.

We are almost there!  Thanks to everyone who has worked on this effort over the past two years.  Assuming Ballot 190 passes, the Validation Working Group can then start work on further amendments as outlined in my prior emails.
