Thanks.

I’ll take a look at it and see about merging the two.

Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Revocation Timeframe Ballot Language



It probably comes as no surprise to anyone in the Forum that I'm not a big fan 
of a blanket policy for CA discretion, much like the any other method concerns 
:)



Jeremy previously had a pretty good draft here, but didn't go forward with it. 
That's captured in https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2015-March/005312.html



Are there new concerns why that approach wouldn't work?

   All,



   Attached is a redlined Word doc containing sections 4.9.1.1 and 4.9.5 of the 
 Baseline Requirements.  To provide greater flexibility when revoking 
certificates, I am proposing that we remove the 24-hour revocation requirement 
from section 4.9.1.1 and replacing it with a criteria-based process found in 
section 4.9.5.  Section 4.9.5 (Time within which CA Must Process the Revocation 
Request) would read:



   The CA SHALL begin an investigation of the facts and circumstances related 
to a Certificate Problem Report or other revocation-related notice within one 
business day of receipt. After reviewing the facts and circumstances, the CA 
SHALL work with any entity reporting the Certificate Problem Report or other 
revocation-related notice to establish a date when the CA will revoke the 
Certificate or take whatever other appropriate action is warranted. The date 
selected by the CA SHOULD consider the following criteria:

   1. The nature of the alleged problem (scope, context, severity, magnitude, 
risk of harm);

   2. The consequences of revocation (direct and collateral impacts to 
Subscribers and Relying Parties);

   3. The number of Certificate Problem Reports received about a particular 
Certificate or Subscriber;

   4. The entity making the complaint (for example, a complaint from a law 
enforcement official that a Web site is engaged in illegal activities should 
carry more weight than a complaint from a consumer alleging that she didn’t 
receive the goods she ordered); and

   5. Relevant legislation.
