      6. Server Certificate Working Group update (Inigo)

  * The applications for new members were discussed, including their

  * The main topic of discussion was the handling of open issues and how
    to address them effectively, as there were many unresolved issues
    dating back several years. Suggestions for improvement were encouraged.
  * There is a concern about issues not containing enough context and
    being self-contained, making it difficult to engage in them.

    issues and make a pass at old ones to answer basic questions, with
    the possibility of closing old ones that cannot be addressed.
  * There was a suggestion to limit the number of updates or versions
    per year to make it easier for the community to handle.
