Jeremy - I have one preliminary edit to suggest.



Your new ballot on 3.2.2.5 starts with the following language:



The CA SHALL confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issues, that the
CA verified each IP Address listed in the Certificate using at a method
specified in this section 3.2.2.5. ***



Before Ballot 190, that similar language “as of the date the Certificate
issues” used to be in the starting paragraph of BR 3.2.2.4 on domain
validation:



BR 3.2.2.4 BEFORE Ballot 190:



The CA SHALL confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issues, either the
CA or a Delegated Third Party has validated each Fully-Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) listed in the Certificate using at least one of the methods listed
below.



But during the discussion of Ballot 190, some people interpreted the
language “as of the date the Certificate issues” as requiring revalidation
of a domain EVERY TIME the customer ordered a new cert - and therefore would
not let a CA re-use domain validation information as permitted under BR 4.2.
1.  That was not the actual practice and not what we wanted.



To fix this and clarify the language to make it clear that domain validation
language can be reused without revalidation for the period allowed under BR.
4.2.1, we modified the beginning paragraphs of BR 3.2.2.4 to read as
follows:



BR 3.2.2.4 AFTER Ballot 190:



The CA SHALL confirm that prior to issuance, the CA or a Delegated Third
Party has validated each Fully‐Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) listed in the
Certificate using at least one of the methods listed below .



Can you modify the first paragraph of your new ballot on BR 3.2.2.5 so that
it reads as follows?  I think that is your actual intent:



3.2.2.5. Authentication for an IP Address



This section defines the permitted processes and procedures for validating
the Applicant’s ownership or control of an IP Address listed in the
Certificate.



The CA SHALL confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issues, that
prior to issuance, the CA verified each IP Address listed in the Certificate
using at a method specified in this section 3.2.2.5. ***

Attached is a revised IP address ballot. This was revised with the latest
comments from Ryan (back in March) and based on 190 passing.
