*Ballot 201 - .Onion Revisions*
This ballot is meant to cure any potential problems with Ballot 198,
which may have been invalid due to ambiguities in what was presented
to the Forum for vote. This Ballot 201 attempts to clarify Appendix F
of the EV Guidelines concerning the Tor Service Descriptor Hash
extension and that inclusion of the extension in the TBSCertificate is
required.
The following motion has been proposed by Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert
and endorsed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and Wayne Thayer of GoDaddy to
introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the "Guidelines for the
Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" (EV
Guidelines).
Attached is a PDF with a redline showing how Appendix F of the current
EV Guidelines will be amended.
-- MOTION BEGINS --
Part 1:
The CA/Browser Forum, recognizing that Ballot 198 did not include a
redline version against the current Final Maintenance Guidelines,
thereby constitutes an invalid Ballot. As a consequence, the Forum
agrees that the changes shall not be made to the appropriate Final
Maintenance Guideline, and as such, no IPR Review Notice is in force
for Ballot 198:
Part 2:
Revise Appendix F, Section 1, to read as follows:
Appendix F – Issuance of Certificates for .onion Domain Names
A CA may issue an EV Certificate with .onion in the right-most label
of the Domain Name provided that issuance complies with the
requirements set forth in this Appendix:
1. CAB Forum Tor Service Descriptor Hash extension (2.23.140.1.31)
The CA MUST include the CAB Forum Tor Service Descriptor Hash in the
TBSCertificate to convey hashes of keys related to .onion addresses.
The CA MUST include the Tor Service Descriptor Hash extension using
the following format:
cabf-TorServiceDescriptorHash OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2.23.140.1.31 }
SEQUENCE ( 1..MAX ) of TorServiceDescriptorHash
TorServiceDescriptorHash:: = SEQUENCE {
onionURI UTF8String
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier
subjectPublicKeyHash BIT STRING
}
Where the AlgorithmIdentifier is a hashing algorithm (defined in RFC
6234) performed over the DER-encoding of an ASN.1 SubjectPublicKey of
the .onion service and SubjectPublicKeyHash is the hash output.
--Motion Ends--
The procedure for approval of this Final Maintenance Guideline ballot
is as follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply
with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):
BALLOT 201 Status: Final Maintenance Guideline Start time
(22:00 UTC) End time (22:00 UTC)
Discussion (7 to 14 days)
May 25, 2017 June 1,
2017
Vote for approval (7 days)
June 1, 2017 June
8, 2017
If a vote of the Forum approves this ballot, the Chair will initiate a
30-day IPR Review Period by sending out an IPR Review Notice.
After 30 days of announcing the IPR Review period by the Chair:
1. If Exclusion Notice(s) are filed, this ballot approval is
rescinded and a PAG will be created; or
2. If no Exclusion Notices are filed, this ballot becomes effective
at end of the IPR Review Period.
From Bylaw 2.3: If the Draft Guideline Ballot is proposing a Final
Maintenance Guideline, such ballot will include a redline or
comparison showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline
section(s) intended to become a Final Maintenance Guideline, and need
not include a copy of the full set of guidelines. Such redline or
comparison shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as
they exist at the time a ballot is proposed, and need not take into
consideration other ballots that may be proposed subsequently, except
as provided in Bylaw Section 2.3(j).
Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread on the
Public list. 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/
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. Quorum is
half of the number of currently active Members, which is the average
number of Member organizations that have participated in the previous
three Forum-wide meetings (both teleconferences and face-to-face
meetings). Under Bylaw 2.2(g), at least the required quorum number
must participate in the ballot for the ballot to be valid, either by
voting in favor, voting against, or abstaining.
