Also, cross-posting a message to ESI TSP and CABF is a bad idea, as both are 
members-only lists with a small intersection, so most reply attempts will 
bounce on one list, causing a fractured conversation.

Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Ballot 223 - Update BR Section 8.4 for CA audit 
criteria: Request to postpone it

 

Dear CA/B-Forum Members,

sorry for jumping in late, Dimitris and Moudrick, many thanks for the proposed 
ballot. 
After checking different Browser Requirements I strongly suggest to postpone 
the discussion phase ballot 223 on "Updating BR Section 8.4".

We should have further improvements on the definitions, 
esp. of  "national scheme" ( e. g. within EA or IAF Framework)  and 
define more precise requirements on standards for conducting the audits, (e. g. 
ISO/IEC 17065 supplemented by ETSI EN 319 403) 
so I suggest to postpone the start of the discussion phase on May, the 7th.

Would realy like to cover the audit requirements from all browsers by the 
Ballot, so more time is needed.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Arno Fiedler

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and 
endorsed by Moudrick M. Dadashov of SSC and Tim Hollebeek from Digicert. 

Background: 

Section 8.4 of the Baseline Requirements describes the audit criteria for CAs 
that issue Publicly-Trusted SSL/TLS Certificates. This ballot attempts to 
achieve two things: 

1.      Remove the old ETSI TS documents 
2.      Align the WebTrust and ETSI requirements 

"WebTrust for Certification Authorities" is equivalent to "ETSI EN 319 401" and 
"WebTrust Principles and Criteria for Certification Authorities – SSL Baseline 
with Network Security" is equivalent to "ETSI EN 319 411-1". 

-- MOTION BEGINS -- 

Replace the first two numbered items in section 8.4 from: 

1.      WebTrust for Certification Authorities v2.0; 
2.      A national scheme that audits conformance to ETSI TS 102 042 / ETSI EN 
319 411-1; or 

to: 

1.      "WebTrust for CAs v2.0 or newer" AND "WebTrust for CAs SSL Baseline 
with Network Security v2.2 or newer"; or  
2.      "ETSI EN 319 401 v2.1.1 or newer" AND "ETSI EN 319 411-1 v1.1.1"; or

-- MOTION ENDS -- 

The procedure for this ballot is as follows (exact start and end times may be 
adjusted to comply with applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):
