[Ben Wilson]

 The voting period for Ballot FORUM-019 v.2 starts today. Votes must be
cast on the Forum public list in accordance with the Forum's Bylaws.
Voting will conclude at 16:00 UTC on 4 December 2023.

*Ballot FORUM-019 v.2 - Amend Server Certificate Working Group Charter*

*Purpose of Ballot*

This ballot proposes to amend the Server Certificate Working Group (SCWG)
Charter, based on existing version 1.2 of the Charter and on recent updates
to the Forum’s Bylaws.

During discussions at Face-to-Face Meeting 58, it was noted that the
membership criteria for Certificate Consumers in the SCWG Charter lacked
sufficient detail. Since then, through discussions on the mailing list of
the SCWG and elsewhere, better criteria for membership of Certificate
Consumers in the SCWG have been developed, and the ballot also adds a
6-month probationary period for all applicants to the SCWG before they
become voting members.

Additionally, section numbering has been added, the outdated "Root
Certificate Issuer" voting category has been removed, and provisions
regarding voting percentages and quorum have been clarified.

The following motion has been proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and
endorsed by Martijn Katerbarg of Sectigo and Dimitris Zacharopoulos of
HARICA.
