Thanks Ryan - I missed that.  IMO, we should leave the cap at 1 business day 
(or even 24 hours) for those two events.  If the subscriber is requesting 
revocation, there's no reason to delay. 

I don't mind adding a two week cap for the rest of the reasons if that helps.

Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Revocation ballot

Hi Jeremy,

This seems rather problematic. I greatly appreciated DigiCert's past 
consideration of this, which was to set the absolute upper bound at no greater 
than two weeks.

As proposed, this would effectively make 4.9.1.1 and 4.9.1.2 pointless, as it 
leaves it fully up to CA discretion. As we've seen with the validation methods' 
"any other method", CA discretion creates significant challenges for relying 
parties and auditors to be assured of the integrity of the Web PKI and of the 
technical and material factors weighing in.

That is, I'm totally supportive of an approach that tries to balance
24 hours, but I think anything that allows for arbitrarily-determined 
revocation, as proposed, would be a big step backwards for the security and 
confidence in the PKI.
