Subject:[cabfpub] Voting begins for Ballot 223 v2 - Update BR Section 8.4 for CA audit criteria

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Moudrick M. Dadashov of SSC and Tim Hollebeek from Digicert.

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 and ETSI requirements

"WebTrust for Certification Authorities" is equivalent to "ETSI EN 319 401" and "WebTrust Principles and Criteria for Certification Authorities – SSL Baseline with Network Security" combined with "WebTrust for Certification Authorities" is equivalent to "ETSI EN 319 411-1".

-- MOTION BEGINS --

Replace the first two numbered items in section 8.4 from:

1.      WebTrust for Certification Authorities v2.0;

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

to:

1.      "WebTrust for CAs v2.0 or newer" AND "WebTrust for CAs SSL Baseline with Network Security v2.2 or newer"; or

  1.  ETSI EN 319 411-1, which includes normative references to ETSI EN 319 401 (the latest version of the referenced ETSI documents should be applied); or

-- MOTION ENDS --

The procedure for this ballot is as follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):
