Based on input from Doug and Wayne, here are the proposed changes.

In section 4.2.2 remove:
CAs SHOULD NOT issue Certificates containing a new gTLD under consideration by 
ICANN. Prior to issuing a Certificate containing an Internal Name with a gTLD 
that ICANN has announced as under consideration to make operational, the CA 
MUST provide a warning to the applicant that the gTLD may soon become 
resolvable and that, at that time, the CA will revoke the Certificate unless 
the applicant promptly registers the Domain Name. When a gTLD is delegated by 
inclusion in the IANA Root Zone Database, the Internal Name becomes a Domain 
Name, and at such time, a Certificate with such gTLD, which may have complied 
with these Requirements at the time it was issued, will be in a violation of 
these Requirements, unless the CA has verified the Subscriber’s rights in the 
Domain Name. The provisions below are intended to prevent such violation from 
happening.

Within 30 days after ICANN has approved a new gTLD for operation, as evidenced 
by publication of a contract with the gTLD operator on [www.ICANN.org] each CA 
MUST (1) compare the new gTLD against the CA’s records of valid certificates 
and (2) cease issuing Certificates containing a Domain Name that includes the 
new gTLD until after the CA has first verified the Subscriber's control over or 
exclusive right to use the Domain Name in accordance with Section 3.2.2.4.

Within 120 days after the publication of a contract for a new gTLD is published 
on [www.icann.org], CAs MUST revoke each Certificate containing a Domain Name 
that includes the new gTLD unless the Subscriber is either the Domain Name 
Registrant or can demonstrate control over the Domain Name.

In section 4.2.2 replace above with:
No stipulation.

In section 7.1.4.2.1 remove:
As of the Effective Date of these Requirements, prior to the issuance of a 
Certificate with a subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject commonName field 
containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name, the CA SHALL notify the 
Applicant that the use of such Certificates has been deprecated by the CA / 
Browser Forum and that the practice will be eliminated by October 2016. Also as 
of the Effective Date, the CA SHALL NOT issue a certificate with an Expiry Date 
later than 1 November 2015 with a subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject 
commonName field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name. Effective 1 
October 2016, CAs SHALL revoke all unexpired Certificates whose 
subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject commonName field contains a 
Reserved IP Address or Internal Name.

In section 7.1.4.2.1 replace above with:
The CA SHALL NOT issue a certificate with a subjectAlternativeName extension or 
Subject commonName field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name.

To avoid any confusion or loopholes, I think we should leave the following 
statement in one of these sections:

the CA SHALL NOT issue a certificate with a subjectAlternativeName extension or 
Subject commonName field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name.

Also, can we please move this discussion to the Public list?

Is the intent to put “No Stipulation” as the content for section 4.2.2 since 
the text to be deleted is the entire content for that section?  I think it 
should.

The edit to 7.1.4.2.1 is to delete only one paragraph, and I agree that should 
be deleted.

The following was reviewed by the Validation Working Group and there were no 
objections in proposing this change.

Would like to know if there is any other feedback before proposing a ballot.

Thanks, Bruce.

Subject: [EXTERNAL][cabf_validation] Cleanup for Non-registered Domains

Sections 4.2.2 and 7.1.4.2.1 deal with non-registered domain names and reserved 
IP addresses. Since CAs are not allowed to issue these certificates since 
November 2015 and all outstanding certificates should have been revoked as of 
October 2016, I think this related information can be deleted from the BRs.

For reference.

Section 4.2.2 states:
CAs SHOULD NOT issue Certificates containing a new gTLD under consideration by 
ICANN. Prior to issuing a Certificate containing an Internal Name with a gTLD 
that ICANN has announced as under consideration to make operational, the CA 
MUST provide a warning to the applicant that the gTLD may soon become 
resolvable and that, at that time, the CA will revoke the Certificate unless 
the applicant promptly registers the Domain Name. When a gTLD is delegated by 
inclusion in the IANA Root Zone Database, the Internal Name becomes a Domain 
Name, and at such time, a Certificate with such gTLD, which may have complied 
with these Requirements at the time it was issued, will be in a violation of 
these Requirements, unless the CA has verified the Subscriber’s rights in the 
Domain Name. The provisions below are intended to prevent such violation from 
happening.

Within 30 days after ICANN has approved a new gTLD for operation, as evidenced 
by publication of a contract with the gTLD operator on 
[www.ICANN.org<http://www.ICANN.org>] each CA MUST (1) compare the new gTLD 
against the CA’s records of valid certificates and (2) cease issuing 
Certificates containing a Domain Name that includes the new gTLD until after 
the CA has first verified the Subscriber's control over or exclusive right to 
use the Domain Name in accordance with Section 3.2.2.4.

Within 120 days after the publication of a contract for a new gTLD is published 
on [www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org>], CAs MUST revoke each Certificate 
containing a Domain Name that includes the new gTLD unless the Subscriber is 
either the Domain Name Registrant or can demonstrate control over the Domain 
Name.

Section 7.1.4.2.1 states:
As of the Effective Date of these Requirements, prior to the issuance of a 
Certificate with a subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject commonName field 
containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name, the CA SHALL notify the 
Applicant that the use of such Certificates has been deprecated by the CA / 
Browser Forum and that the practice will be eliminated by October 2016. Also as 
of the Effective Date, the CA SHALL NOT issue a certificate with an Expiry Date 
later than 1 November 2015 with a subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject 
commonName field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Name. Effective 1 
October 2016, CAs SHALL revoke all unexpired Certificates whose 
subjectAlternativeName extension or Subject commonName field contains a 
Reserved IP Address or Internal Name.

Does this make sense?


Thanks, Bruce.
