This email initiates the voting period for ballot SC-68. Please vote.



      Purpose of the Ballot

The EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier values and require the country code of all currently-allowed Registration Schemes (NTR, VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1 for the 2-letter country prefix.

The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI EN 319 412-1 and then the SCWG made several modifications. However, there is an exception for Greece specifically for the VAT Registration Scheme that is aligned with Article 215 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj> that allows Greece to use the country prefix "EL". In practice, Greece uses the prefix "EL" to identify itself next to the VAT number of all Legal Entities registered/incorporated/established in Greece, and all other European Countries use this prefix to identify Greek VAT numbers. This can easily be verified in the VIES VAT number validation website <https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation> where Greece is listed as"EL".

There is also Council Directive 2020/1756 <https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2020/1756/oj> amending Directive 2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI" for the identification of taxable persons in Northern Ireland.

This pull request <https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/473>
proposes updates to the EV Guidelines to allow those additional prefixes. It also fixes some formatting issues.

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Corey Bonnell of Digicert.
