[Servercert-wg] Discussion Period Begins on Ballot SC48 - Domain Name and IP Address Encoding

[Corey Bonnell]

This email begins the discussion period for Ballot SC48 - Domain Name and IP
Address Encoding

 


Purpose of Ballot


Ballot 202 set out to clarify requirements regarding encoding of domain
names and IP addresses in Subscriber Certificates, but the Ballot ultimately
failed to pass. Since then, there have been numerous differences in
interpretation of the written requirements.

This Ballot seeks to resolve these differences in interpretation and to
provide unambiguous guidance on the correct encoding of domain names and IP
addresses in Subscriber Certificates.

 

The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell of DigiCert and
endorsed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA.
