[Servercert-wg] TURKTRUST Membership Challenge

[Wayne Thayer]

TURKTRUST is a Certificate Issuer Forum Member that has voted on recent
SCWG ballots. However, TURKTRUST's TLS certificates are no longer treated
as valid by most browsers, leading me to suspect that TURKTRUST may no
longer be eligible to participate as a voting member of the SCWG or Forum.
In private correspondence with a TURKTRUST representative, I have not been
able to obtain evidence that TURKTRUST remains eligible for membership.
Therefore, I am sending this email in accordance with the SCWG charter,
which states:

A Certificate or Root Certificate Issuer Member’s membership may be
> suspended if any of the following become true:
>
>    -
>
>    it fails to perform and disclose its membership-qualifying audit and
>    fifteen (15) months have elapsed since the end of the audit period of its
>    last successful membership-qualifying audit; or
>    -
>
>    its membership-qualifying audit is revoked, rescinded or withdrawn; or
>    -
>
>    fifteen (15) months have elapsed since the end of the audit period of
>    its last membership-qualifying audit; or
>    -
>
>    it is no longer the case that its currently-issued certificates are
>    treated as valid by at least one (1) Certificate Consumer Member of the
>    Server Certificate Working Group.
>
> Any Member who believes any of the above circumstances is true of any
> other Member, that Member may report it on the SCWG Public Mail List. The
> Chair will then investigate, including asking the reported Member for an
> explanation or appropriate documentation. If evidence of continued
> qualification for membership is not forthcoming from the reported Member
> within five (5) working days, the Chair will announce that such Member is
> suspended, such announcement to include the clause(s) from the above list
> under which the suspension has been made.
>

Dimitris, I suspect that TURKTRUST no longer meets the last requirement
above. in your role as SCWG Chair, please investigate.

Thanks,

Wayne
