Hmm  - that does seem long.  What if we keep the investigation to 24 hours and 
change revocation to 24 hours/2 weeks? There’s no reason for the CA to delay 
investigating any issue.

 

For transparency, what do you suggest?  I left it the same as today. Perhaps 
state that the CA MUST reply to the certificate problem reporter about its 
decision within 3 days?

To make sure I'm summarizing the meaningful change:

- 7 days upon when a CA itself decides a violation (e.g. CA failing to follow 
its CP/CPS or the Baseline Requirements)

- 14 days (up to 7 days for investigation/confirmation) for an external report 
of a CA violating its CP/CPS

  - 7 days for investigation & FINAL report

  - While still requiring that CAs MUST NOT exceed 7 days from that 
determination to revoke

 

And not requiring any transparency for reports the CA determines are 'not 
valid', right? Meaning any problem reporter who feels the CA's response is 
inadequate must, as they do today, escalate to Application Software Suppliers.

 

Did I properly summarize? I want to make sure I parse it right (the "MUST not" 
was subtle, for example, in part due to non-2119 capitalization), particularly 
that the CA must still revoke within a total of 14 days for 
externally-reported-and-confirmed issues.

Attached is a revised version of the revocation ballot. This leaves the 
revocation deadline at 24 hours for key compromise, but gives CAs a week to 
respond to other issues. Pretty sure I don’t need to preface where this 
proposal is coming from.

 

Thoughts?
