[Servercert-wg] [Discussion Period Begins]: SC65: Convert EVGs into RFC 3647 format

[Corey Bonnell]

Hi Inigo,

I did a cursory review of the draft ballot and have a few comments:

 

1.	Line 1303 indicates that the values of the
CABFOrganizationIdentifier extension MUST be derived from the
OrganizationName attribute as opposed to the OrganizationIdentifier
attribute:

2.	The changes in Appendix H introduced by SC-68 (to allow EL and XI in
the VAT Registration Scheme) need to be contemplated in accordance with
Bylaws 2.4 (10). Depending on the urgency of this ballot, it might be easier
to wait until SC-68 (presumably) clears IPR and is published before
initiating voting. 
3.	Are there any normative requirements changes introduced in this
ballot? If there are none, it would be useful to indicate that there are no
normative requirements changes in the ballot preamble so that the intent of
the language changes is clear.

 

Thanks,

Corey

Subject: [Servercert-wg] [Discussion Period Begins]: SC65: Convert EVGs into
RFC 3647 format

 

Summary: 

The Extended Validation Certificates guidelines (EVGs) were developed and
written in a specific format. Since then, the RFC 3647 has been the basis
(and the de-facto standard) for the CA/Browser Forum to develop other
documents.

This ballot aims to update the EVGs to follow the RFC 3647 format without
changing any content, just moving current sections to those defined in the
RFC 3647. This change also affects the Baseline Requirements for TSL
certificates (BRs) which needs to point to the new sections of the EVGs.

This ballot is proposed by Iñigo Barreira (Sectigo) and endorsed by Pedro
Fuentes (OISTE) and Ben Wilson (Mozilla).

--- Motion Begins ---

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and
Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Certificates" ("TLS Baseline
Requirements"), based on Version 2.0.2 and the “Guidelines for the Issuance
and Management of Extended Validation Certificates” (EVGs) based on Version
1.8.0. 

MODIFY the TLS EVGs and BRs as specified in the following Redline:
