[Servercert-wg] [Voting Begins] Ballot SC-74 - Clarify CP/CPS structure according to RFC 3647

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA)]

Based on comments received during -unfortunately- the voting period, it 
appears that more attention to detail like the case of the section 
headings, punctuation marks, etc need to be carefully reviewed before 
approving with this ballot.

I would like to recommend Members to change their vote to "no" so that 
the ballot fails and we can re-introduce it after we resolve these issues.


Thank you,
Dimitris.
