[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC15: Remove Validation Method Number 9

[Doug Beattie]

Ryan,

 

None of the previously completed validations can be used for new issuance.  I think it’s written that way, but I can add something in the ballot prefix that specifically states that if you think it’s necessary.

Doug:

What about previously completed validations? Can/should they be reused? I don't think so, and that certainly aligns with various root program requirements, but I'm curious if it was intentional.
