Our primary reasons for voting against are:

  1.  There was no attempt to build consensus around this ballot. While we 
recognize that it takes a concrete proposal to spur action, we don’t believe 
the discussion was constructive or that nearly enough time was allowed to find 
common ground.
Note: Given that we had no formal measure of consensus, I do hope that GoDaddy 
doesn't consider the act of trying to measure consensus as being at odds with 
building consensus. Only by knowing who disagrees, and why, can we work to find 
a solution that works for the majority.

[WT] It’s fair to say that many, probably most members did not construe this 
ballot as simply an attempt to measure consensus, so I reject your assertion. 
And I wouldn’t have listed our concerns if we were opposed to using the ballot 
to gain insight into the issue.

  1.
  2.  The 6-month deadline in the revised ballot represents consensus on how 
long CAs should need to implement a change of this sort, but allowing more time 
for planning can minimize the impact to all involved. For example:

     *   Giving large companies time to plan and budget for better automation 
or more resources.
     *   Getting the word out to resellers who also need to notify their 
customers and make changes to their systems.
     *   Allowing CAs time to work with customers to fulfill or modify prior 
obligations such as enterprise contracts, retail sales of new multi-year 
certificates, or reissuance of multi-year certificates.
We’d like to understand the specific concerns driving the tight timeline and 
weigh them against the benefits gained from a moderately later effective date.

Is this a matter of degree (e.g. 3 additional months) or magnitude (e.g. 3 
additional years)?

[WT] Something in between 3 months and 3 years. Again, I don’t know if there 
are specific concerns informing the proposed timing or if it was just Google’s 
desired outcome.
