[cabf_validation] Proposed ballot - EV State Optional

[Doug Beattie]

I like the list of countries idea - all the CAs would then have the same guidance on how to handle them.

Another possibility is to leave state or province as required, but then add:

"State or province is not required for the countries listed on Appendix X"

Then we add places (Taiwan, Monaco, Vatican City, Germany, United Kingdom) as people bring them forward.  We could include an initial list with this ballot to avoid having to prepare another ballot to add places.

Yes, I like something along those lines.

How about this?

Required/Optional:
City and country - Required;
State - Required, if verified per Section 11.4.1 as part of the address for the Place of Business;
Street and postal code - Optional

If there is no state or the state is not used as part of the address, then it is not required.

But City + Country is not unique in many common, important cases ("Springfield, United States"), and the state is also important since state laws tend to vary quite a bit in the US ... I think something more in the spirit of the current BRs that does a better job of tightening up what "where applicable" means would be better.

I don't want to lose the requirement that US EV certificates MUST include the state.

Here is a proposed ballot per my action.
Thanks, Bruce.
Background:
There is confusion on whether the state or province OID MUST be included in an EV certificate. EV section 9.2.7 states in one place "State or province (where applicable)" and also "City, state and country - Required."
Since many countries do not have states or provinces and some that do have states or provinces do not use them for their address, it is proposed that inclusion of the state or province OID should be optional.
-- MOTION BEGINS --
Current section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines:
Required/Optional: City, state, and country - Required; Street and postal code - Optional
Proposed section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines:
Required/Optional: City and country - Required; Street, state and postal code - Optional
-- MOTION ENDS --
The review period for this ballot shall commence at 2200 UTC on XX, and will close at 2200 UTC on XX. Unless the motion is withdrawn during the review period, the voting period will start immediately thereafter and will close at 2200 UTC on XX. Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread.
A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response. A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote to abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting member before the close of the voting period will be counted. Voting members are listed here: https://cabforum.org/members/<https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4062&d=8t_S2CLG1RJ6XptDB9PCkT6EtPLjV0eNXVqfzYQ53A&s=5&u=https%3a%2f%2fcabforum%2eorg%2fmembers%2f>
In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast by members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by members in the browser category must be in favor.
