> This begins the voting period for Ballot SC31v3: Browser Alignment
>
> *Purpose of Ballot:*
> *
> *
> As a regular part of Root Program maintenance, and reflecting the 
> independent nature of each Root Programs' needs and requirements, Root 
> Programs have introduced a number of requirements above and beyond 
> those captured in the Baseline Requirements. For Root Programs, this 
> approach results in a lack of certainty, as the requirements are not 
> independently audited and assessed, unless otherwise provided for. For 
> CAs, this introduces confusion when applying to have the same CA 
> certificate trusted by multiple Root Programs, as the effective 
> requirements that the CA and certificates need to comply with are the 
> union of the most-restrictive policies.
>
> The following ballot attempts to resolve this uncertainty for Root 
> Programs, and ambiguity for CAs, by incorporating Root 
> Program-specific requirements that are either effective or will, in 
> the future, be effective.*
> *
>
> This was originally drafted in 
> https://github.com/sleevi/cabforum-docs/pull/10 , and as a pull 
> request is available at https://github.com/cabforum/documents/pull/195
>
> The full description, and motivation, of each change, along with the 
> effective dates, are available at the above pull request.
>
> The following motion has been proposed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and 
> endorsed by Clint Wilson of Apple and Mike Reilly of Microsoft.
>
> The changes between SC31v1 and SC31v2 can be viewed at 
> https://github.com/cabforum/documents/compare/90a7dfe95d32ae8c76a4fa55c7b038d4928872c6...1bb3be897213b21d15b837befa885b0ba34bfd3d . 
> This corrects "Not applicable" to "No stipulation", updates the 
> formatting/markup for Pandoc and provides additional example text to 
> the effective date table for the Chair or Vice-Chair.

> This addresses an issue with certificate suspension for pre-existing, 
> non-TLS certificates from TLS-capable subordinate CAs, and attempts to 
> clarify the expectations around the use of CRL reason codes by 
> requiring they be documented in the CA's CP/CPS. This also shuffles a 
> requirement already present in the BRs and the RFCs, regarding 
> Delegated Responders being conflated with TLS-capable CAs, into the 
> "Cleanup and Clarification" ballot.

> *--- MOTION BEGINS ---

> This ballot modifies "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and 
> Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" ("Baseline Requirements")

> This ballot modifies the “Guidelines for the Issuance and Management 
> of Extended Validation Certificates” (“EV Guidelines”) as follows,
