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

[Martijn Katerbarg]

Thanks Aaron.

 I feel like the shall in "For purposes of measuring periods of time, one hour shall be defined to be exactly 3,600 seconds" should be capitalized.

Regards,

Martijn

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
