[Servercert-wg] Proposal to Incorporate Mozilla's CRL Revocation Reason Code Requirements into the BRs

I'm fine with any date. As Ben said, CAs should probably already be implementing these practices so the sooner the better? Are there any objections to using March 15 as the effective date provided we run the ballot this month?


Thanks,

DZ.

(Currently at https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/0a07e046326101ef3b57572daebd3cf45ff4840f[https://avanan.url-protection.com/v1/url?o=https%3A//github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/0a07e046326101ef3b57572daebd3cf45ff4840f&g=ZWJmMjY3Njc2YjRiNjg0Yw==&h=OWFjMmE2ZWM0Nzg4NzIzMjc2ZGYxMjkzMTEyNDI1ODgxZWY3YmI4MjQ4NDUzMmZjMWM4NTQ1ZjA1M2ZiZGRlOA==&p=YXAzOmRpZ2ljZXJ0OmE6bzplMzA1NzFmNGVjYTM2N2I1ODcyYTM2M2ZjODdiOGM0ZTp2MTpoOkY=].)  CAs in Mozilla's program should have already been including reason codes in CRLs.  Elsewhere, others have suggested March 15 and September 15 as potential effective dates for other ballots, but I'd be willing to say July 1st or July 15th. What are everyone's thoughts?
