[Servercert-wg] SC-XXX: Modify Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use

[Ben Wilson]

Hi Clint,

Basically, that's about it, except by removing the separate "Terms of Use"
and collapsing that concept into "Subscriber Agreement" there are places
where "agreeing" and "legally binding" may get watered down. "Agree" is
replaced with "accept" in some places, and in two places "legally binding"
is preserved for unaffiliated parties but not between affiliates (line 3364
and line 3380), but I don't think that make the proposed language less
protective than it is with the current "Terms of Use" language.

That being said, we could expand the scope of the ballot to address other
"Subscriber Agreement" issues, if anyone can articulate them and present
acceptable language that would address them.

Dustin Hollenback is the proposer of this ballot, so he may have additional
points he'd like to make or clarify.

Thanks,
Ben
