[cabfpub] Ballot Forum-XX: Update CA/B Forum Bylaws to version 2.3

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA)]

Following up from the latest F2F meeting, I have prepared a ballot for a 
Bylaws update.

I am looking for two endorsers.

Thanks,
Dimitris.


*Purpose of Ballot:* The Forum has identified and discussed a number of 
improvements to be made to the current version of the Bylaws to improve 
clarity and allow the Forum to function more effectively. Most of these 
changes are described in the “Issues with Bylaws to be addressed 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtrIy3F5cPge0_M-C8J6fe72KcVI8H5Q_2S6S31ynU0>” 
document.

Here is a list of major changes:

 1. Clarification of the use of the term “Member” so it is clear when we
    discuss about all Forum Members (which includes Associate Members
    and Interested Parties), and when we discuss about the “Full Members”.
 2. Adding the term “Voting Representative” which is designated by each
    Member. Only votes submitted by Voting Representatives will be
    considered
 3. Replacing of the term “Forum wiki” with the properly defined term
    “Member Web Site”
 4. Removing references for Webmaster in the definition of “Public Web
    Site” since it is repeated in section 5.2
 5. New Photography Policy in Exhibit D
 6. Clarification of 4.1 (2) that Forum Members nominate representatives
 7. Allowing informative changes to Guidelines by the Chair or Vice Chair
 8. In 5.3.1 require that a Certificate Issuer is trusted in the
    “latest” software produced by a Certificate Consumer
