-- 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.
