[cabfpub] Draft Ballot to establish new SCWG Network Security Subcommittee

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos]

Kirk,

About the NetSec Subcommittee, I believe we should take into account the
conclusion paragraph of the deliverable
<https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2018-June/013587.html> published
on June 22nd 2018. The conclusion was not to "scrap" the NetSec
Guidelines. I propose the following:

--- BEGIN ---

The Server Certificate Working Group formally establishes the *Network
Security Subcommittee* as an official Subcommittee.

*Scope: *Revising and improving the Network and Certificate Systems
Security Requirements (NCSSRs).

*Out of Scope: *No provision.

*Deliverables: *The Network Security Subcommittee shall produce one or
more documents offering options to the Forum for establishing minimal
security standards within the scope defined above. These renewed NCSSR
documents will serve CAs, auditors and browsers in giving a state of the
art set of rules for the deployment and operation of CAs computing
infrastructures.

*Within the scope of the SCWG Charter:* Yes

*End Date: *None

--- END---

Best regards,
Dimitris.
