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Additionally, section numbering has been added, the outdated "Root Certificate Issuer" voting category has been removed, and provisions regarding voting percentages and quorum have been clarified.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


----- Motion Begins -----
