*Ballot 203: Formation of Network Security Working Group (v2)
*
Purpose of Ballot: To form a Network Security Working Group to
re-evaluate the CAB Forum's Network Security Guidelines.
The following motion has been proposed by Gervase Markham of Mozilla
and endorsed by Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert and Moudrick Dadashov of SSC:
*-- MOTION BEGINS --*
In accordance with Section 5.3 of the CA/B Forum Bylaws, the
chartering of a new Working Group requires a ballot. This ballot
charters the Network Security Working Group.
The CAB Forum's Network Security Guidelines were adopted in August
2012 but have not been updated since. Significant doubts have been
raised as to their fitness for purpose in 2017. Therefore, the Working
Group’s charter will be as follows:
*Scope*
1. Consider options for revising, replacing or scrapping the Network
Security Guidelines.
*Deliverables*
1. A report with one or more proposals for the future of the Network
Security Guidelines.
2. For proposals involving replacement, details of the availability
and applicability of the proposed alternative, and what modifications
if any would be needed to it in order to make it suitable for use.
3. For proposals involving revision, details of the revisions that are
deemed necessary and how the document will be kept current in the future.
4. For proposals involving scrapping, an explanation of why this is
preferable to either of the other two options.
5. If there are multiple proposals, optionally a recommendation as to
which one to pursue and an associated timeline.
6. A form of ballot or ballots to implement any recommendations.
*Expiry*
The Working Group shall expire once the deliverables have been
completed, or on 2018-06-19, whichever happens first.
The expiry date given above shall be automatically postponed by 1 year
on 2018-05-19 ("postponement date") and each anniversary of the
postponement date thereafter unless three or more members separately
or jointly request on the Public Mail List, within one month prior to
a particular postponement date, that expiry of this Working Group not
be postponed in that instance.
