主题: [Servercert-wg] Ballot SC9 v4 – Establish the Validation Subcommittee of the SCWG

 

Here is an updated version of this ballot that will allow the Validation WG to continue as a Subcommittee after the October 3rd sunset for Legacy Working Groups that is built into our new bylaws. I have attempted to incorporate the feedback received on Kirk's earlier versions of the ballot into this version. Note that v3 of this ballot was never circulated.

 

I am beginning the discussion period for this ballot immediately in hopes that we can get this passed 2 weeks from today and avoid any temporary gap in which the Validation Subcommittee does not formally exist. I would appreciate it if you would review this ASAP and provide any feedback that might require us to restart the discussion period.

 

=================

Purpose of Ballot

The Validation Working Group of the CA/Browser Forum will expire on October 3, 2018 under the provisions of the new Bylaws adopted in Ballot 206.  The Server Certificate Working Group wishes to establish a Validation Subcommittee pursuant to the provisions of Bylaws Section 5.3.1(e). This ballot is based on the language in Ballot 143 which was approved by the Forum Members for formally establishing the legacy Validation Working Group in 2015: https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/143%20-%20Formalization%20of%20validation%20working%20group

The following motion has been proposed by Wayne Thayer of Mozilla and endorsed by Tim Hollebeek of DigiCert and Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA.

Additional Information (not part of ballot)

* Ballot 143 – Formalization of Validation Working Group (approved Feb 2015)
https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/143%20-%20Formalization%20of%20validation%20working%20group

The CA-Browser Forum formally establishes the Validation Working Group as an official working group of the CAB Forum, replacing the previous informal EV working group. The scope of this working group is to address issues arising under adopted CAB Forum standards related to the validation of certificate information and the inclusion of information in certificates.

Scope: The Validation Working Group will consider all matters relating to the validation and inclusion of information in certificates under adopted CAB Forum guidelines.

Deliverables: The Working Group shall produce one or more documents offering options to the Forum for validation within the scope defined above.


* Bylaws v1.9

5.3.1 Formation of Chartered Working Groups
(e) CWGs may establish any number of subcommittees within its own Working Group to address any of such CWG’s business (each, a “Subcommittee”). A CWG-created Subcommittee needs to be approved by the CWG itself according to the approval process set forth in the CWG charter, but approval of the Forum is not necessary.  Subcommittees must exist under an approved CWG.
