________________________________
Purpose of Ballot:

This ballot clarifies the allowed HTTP status codes used for following redirects in domain validation methods 18 and 19, and specifies that the target URI must come from the Location response header.
In Section 3.2.2.4.18 and 3.2.2.4.19, it replaces
"Redirects MUST be the result of an HTTP status code result within the 3xx Redirection class of status codes, as defined in RFC 7231, Section 6.4." with the following:

  * "Redirects MUST be the result of a 301, 302, 307, or 308 HTTP status code response."
  * "Redirects MUST be to resource URLs contained in the Location HTTP response header."

The following motion has been proposed by Niko Carpenter of SecureTrust and endorsed by Corey Bonnell of DigiCert and Ryan Sleevi of Google.

--MOTION BEGINS--

This ballot modifies the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" as defined in the following redline, based on Version 1.7.3:
