What is the effective date? From: Public [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Sleevi via Public Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 2:03 PM To: Kirk Hall <[email protected]>; CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [cabfpub] [EXTERNAL] Ballot 212: Canonicalise formal name of the Baseline Requirements
Hi Kirk, It may be subtle, but the ballot purpose captured it "to make the formal name of the Baseline Requirements document clear, as use is not currently consistent" As noted, the use of terminology is not consistent, throughout the document or our other documents. This offers the editorial flexibility when integrating changes to harmonize that, without having to have a giant ballot to do so once, and then ensure the need to police every ballot afterwards to ensure they maintain the same internal and external consistency. It also provides a stable reference name for external documents (whether ETSI, WebTrust, or the EVGs) to reference these and ensure there's no confusion about 'which' baseline requirements these are. As you're fond of suggesting editorial leeway, this formalizes it in a Ballot for the specific case of the document name - across all of our documents (c.f. "Editors and maintainers of CAB Forum documents and websites are empowered to update text under their control at any time to make this so.")
