[cabfpub] [Servercert-wg] Ballot FORUM-4 v2

Hi Inigo,

Tim has withdrawn the changes to ETSI because his main goal is to just 
fix the Bylaws with the language of Ballot 206. The risk of CAs using 
the old TS standards is already very high and we should not wait any 
longer to fix this. I'd be happy to propose a new ballot to fix the ETSI 
language for the Bylaws and the SCWG charter.

I will propose replacing:

"or ETSI TS 102042, ETSI 101456, or ETSI EN 319 411-1"

with "or ETSI EN 319 411-1".

That's the only change I am currently willing to propose/endorse. 
Looking for two endorsers.


Thanks,
Dimitris.
