and compromised private keys. These changes lie primarily in Section 6.1.1.3

*	6.1.1.3(4) clarifies that, for the purpose of this requirement, CAs
shall be made aware of compromised keys using their existing notification

keys. Should this ballot pass, these changes become effective on November
15, 2024.

ballot SC-59v2 Weak Key Guidance. SSL.com’s contributions are appreciated.
*	Thanks to Rob Stradling of Sectigo for the generation and
publication of the set of Debian weak keys referenced in this ballot.
