Clarifications



This begins the voting period for ballot SC35: Cleanups and Clarifications



Purpose of Ballot:

This ballot attempts to fix the numerous typographical and editorial issues 
that have been identified in the SCWG documents ("spring cleanup"), such as 
incorrect section references, expired effective dates, or spelling and 
grammatical mistakes. Additionally, it attempts to provide guidance and 
clarification for language that has been viewed as ambiguous, multiple, or 
conflicting interpretations.

CAs SHOULD carefully review each change, to ensure no normative impact upon 
their CA operations and practices that may have resulted from these 
ambiguities and consistency issues.

The following motion has been proposed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and endorsed 
by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Doug Beattie of GlobalSign.
