As mentioned during our presentation at the face-to-face meeting in Berlin, the 
WebTrust for Certification Authorities Task Force has proposed new criteria be 
added to WebTrust for Certification Authorities to be included in a new 
version, 2.1.  The changes are to cover event based activities that are not 
currently addressed in the WebTrust criteria and would add consistency in their 
treatment for auditors and CAs alike.  Since they are event based, they should 
not cause any concerns for CAs when they become effective.  Specifically, the 
added criteria relate to the following:

4.5  CA Key Archival and Destruction

4.9  CA Key Transportation

4.10 CA Key Migration

Please see the attached document.  It is in a tracked changes format so you can 
see what new criteria we are suggesting in 4.5, as well as the addition of 
sections 4.9 and 4.10.  The criteria that are included today are based on ISO 
21188.  Since these proposed changes are not part of that standard, we need a 
public group (CABF qualifies as such) to approve the criteria.

We would appreciate the CABF's review and balloting to approve these changes as 
soon as possible so we can release the new version, 2.1.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
