[cabfpub] Validation Legacy Working Group

[Tim Hollebeek]

Sure!

 

The Validation Legacy WG, as a WG of the CA/Browser forum, is limited to dealing with validation issues for publicly trusted TLS server certificates.  

 

We are not anticipating changing that at this time, so the new Validation Subcommittee of the Server Certificate WG will also address validation only for certificates that are in scope of the Server Certificate WG.  Validation for other certificates (e-mail, client, etc) will be out of scope for the new Subcommittee.

 

On last week’s call, we discussed the fact that there may be new WGs in the future (e.g. e-mail or code signing), and they may have their own Validation Subcommittees, and those various Validation Subcommittees may coordinate work in some manner where their interests overlap, but we’ll cross that bridge once we actually have other WGs.

Hi Tim,

 

Would you please confirm that the scope of the Validation Legacy WG falls within the scope of the Server Certificate WG?  Thanks!

Section 5.3.4 of the new Bylaws reads as follows:



"5.3.4 Legacy Working Groups Any "Legacy" Working Groups ("LWG") in
existence when this Bylaws v.1.8 is approved by the Forum shall have the
option of (a) converting to a Subcommittee under a CWG pursuant to Section
5.3.1(e), (b) immediately terminating, or (c) continuing in effect without
change for 6 months following such approval. For an LWG to continue beyond
such 6 months, it must have a charter approved as described in Section 5.3.1
above, as if it was a new Working Group."



The Validation Working Group has decided to pursue option (a), and will
convert itself to a Subcommittee of Server Certificate Working Group on or
soon after July 3, 2018.
