[Servercert-wg] Seeking endorsers: Ballot SC-XX: Measure all hours and days to the second

[Aaron Gable]

Hi all,

As a result of this bugzilla incident
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1865080>, and inspired by Ballot
SC-52 <https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/327> which never came to
a vote, I would like to re-propose that the Baseline Requirements clarify
that all "hour" and "day" time periods are measured with 1-second
precision, and do not refer to calendar days. They currently do this in two
separate places (three, if you count the definition of Short-Lived
Certificates). I believe it will benefit all readers to instead state this
convention once at the beginning of the document, so that it is clear that
it applies uniformly to all time periods measured in those units.

The pull request can be viewed and commented on here:
https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/470
The precise diff that will become the ballot redline if no changes are
requested can be viewed here:
https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/90a98dc7c1131eaab01af411968aa7330d315b9b...c3e928e73caed8c8489ab5406127aad661b8a63e

I am seeking endorsers for this ballot.

Thank you!
Aaron
