Under Bylaws 2.3c, this ballot has exceeded 21 days from last version 
posted without starting the voting period, therefore the ballot fails.

In order to publish this to https://cabforum.org/ballots/ we need create 
a page with the last published version of the ballot and add the text:

"This ballot was in the review period for more than 21 days and voting 
did not start. According to section 2.3c of the Bylaws, the ballot has 
failed".

If there are no objections, we will publish this on Tuesday November 6th.


Thank you,
Dimitris.
