Subject: [Servercert-wg] VOTING BEGINS: Ballot SC35: Cleanups and 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.
