[Servercert-wg] Missing ballot (and EVG revision) from the CABF website?

I would recommend just a note on the EVG page indicating that due to an oversight, v1.5.3 wasn’t published properly and was superseded by 1.5.4 (and completely adopted by the go-forward re-adoption ballot). If anyone happens to have a copy of v1.5.3 lying around, it’d be easy to republish, but since we don’t need it for anything, reconstructing it is probably more effort than it’s worth at this point.

When looking at https://cabforum.org/extended-validation/ , I don't see an EVG 1.5.3

 

Yet if you look at the changelog history, you'll see EVG 1.5.3 was associated with Ballot 144, which was voted on in 2015-02 (see https://oldportal.cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2015-February/thread.html ) and as documented on our webpage https://cabforum.org/2015/02/18/ballot-144-validation-rules-dot-onion-names/

 

Ben had proposed Redlines (EVGs https://oldportal.cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2015-February/005091.html and BRGs https://oldportal.cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2015-February/005093.html ), and we'd posted v1.2.4 of the BRs that resulted from Ballot 144 at https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-documents/ , but I'm not seeing an EVG 1.5.3

 

I looked through the mail archives and this was during the period where review notices weren't being sent, so I didn't find any review notice with the document. I also didn't find a final copy of the document, beyond that thread above.

 

Not trying to pick at old issues, since we largely resolved these with the "readoption" ballot on a go-forward, but should we try to create a v1.5.3 for the website? Or just add a note that due to an oversight, it wasn't published, but refer to Ballot 144 for the text?

 

Also apologies if I overlooked something blindingly obvious :)
