Results on Ballot 205 - Membership-Related Clarifications The voting period for Ballot 205 has ended, and the ballot passed. Here are the results.
Voting by CAs - 13 votes total, including abstentions 13 Yes votes: Actalis, Buypass, CFCA, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, DigiCert, Entrust, GDCA, GlobalSign, GoDaddy, HARICA, Logius PKIoverheid, SHECA 0 No votes: 0 Abstain: 100% of voting CAs voted in favor Voting by browsers - x votes total, including abstentions 4 Yes votes: Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera 0 No votes: 0 Abstain: 100% of voting browsers voted in favor Under Bylaw 2.2(g), a ballot result will be considered valid only when more than half of the number of currently active Members has participated. Votes to abstain are counted in determining a quorum. Half of currently active Members as of the start of voting is 11, so quorum was 12 votes. 17 votes (including abstentions) were cast - quorum was met. Bylaw 2.2(f) requires a yes vote by two-thirds of CA votes and 50%-plus-one browser votes for approval. Votes to abstain are not counted for this purpose. This requirement was met for both CAs and browsers. At least one CA Member and one browser Member must vote in favor of a ballot for the ballot to be adopted. This requirement was met Ballot 205 passes. Because this was only an amendment to our Bylaws, there will be no Review Period under our IPR Agreement, and so the ballot is now in effect.
