I am looking for two endorsers for the following ballot.

Dimitris.

*Ballot XXX - Update Section 8.4 for CA audit criteria*

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of 
HARICA and endorsed by ___ and ___

*Background*:

Section 8.4 of the Baseline Requirements describes the audit criteria 
for CAs that issue Publicly-Trusted SSL/TLS Certificates. This ballot 
attempts to achieve two things:

 1. Remove the old ETSI TS documents
 2.

    Align the WebTrust <https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/WebTrust> and ETSI
    requirements

"WebTrust <https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/WebTrust> for Certification 
Authorities" is equivalent to "ETSI EN 319 401" and "WebTrust 
<https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/WebTrust> Principles and Criteria for 
Certification Authorities – SSL Baseline with Network Security" is the 
equivalent of "ETSI EN 319 411-1".

*-- MOTION BEGINS --*

Replace the first two numbered items in section 8.4 of the Baseline 
Requirements from:

 1.

    WebTrust <https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/WebTrust> for Certification
    Authorities v2.0;

 2. A national scheme that audits conformance to ETSI TS 102 042 / ETSI
    EN 319 411-1; or

to:

 1.

    WebTrust <https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/WebTrust> Principles and
    Criteria for Certification Authorities – SSL Baseline with Network
    Security;

 2. A national scheme that audits conformance to ETSI EN 319 411-1; or

*-- MOTION ENDS --*

may be adjusted to comply with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):

or comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as 
they exist at the time a ballot is proposed, and need not take into
