SSC votes: "Yes".
If we ever have a (language improvement) contest, the one below should
be the best candidate - significant improvement without changing a
single word. Good job!
Thanks,
M.D.

Noting, however, that despite the stated purpose of the ballot, there
is the risk that by being a selection of options, we will have the
unfortunately common risk of misreading it **incorrectly** as:
"Retrieved (1) directly from the Domain Name Registrar or registry
operator via the protocol defined in RFC 3912, (2) the Registry Data
Access Protocol defined in RFC 7482, (3) or an HTTPS website"
rather than the correct reading, which is:
"Retrieved directly from the Domain Name Registrar or registry
operator via (1) the protocol defined in RFC 3912, (2) the Registry
Data Access Protocol defined in RFC 7482, (3) or an HTTPS website"
This would ideally be resolved in a subsequent ballot as quickly as
possible, for the benefit of our non-native English speaking
participants in particular, and to ensure that it is clear and
unambiguous the expectation, despite being plainly stated in the
Purpose as to what the desired interpretation is. Ideally, such a
ballot would not express normative requirements in definitions, and
might otherwise use an explicit section to explain what process a CA
should use for the determination of this information, but for
expediency sake, clarifying in situ seems desirable.

Ballot 224: WHOIS and RDAP
Purpose of Ballot: The Registry Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is the
successor to WHOIS, and this ballot adds explicit support for RDAP
to the BRs by adding a definition of "WHOIS". The new definition
permits the use of the registry or registrar's web interface, and
requires WHOIS information to be retrieved directly from the
registrar or registry of the domain name.
The following motion has been proposed by Wayne Thayer of Mozilla
and endorsed by Tim Hollebeek of DigiCert and Adriano Santoni of
Actalis.
— MOTION BEGINS –
This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance
and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” as follows, based
upon Version 1.5.7:
In section 1.6.1, add the following definition:
WHOIS: information retrieved directly from the Domain Name
Registrar or registry operator via the protocol defined in RFC
3912, the Registry Data Access Protocol defined in RFC 7482, or an
HTTPS website.
In section 1.6.3, add the following references:
RFC3912, Request for Comments: 3912, WHOIS Protocol Specification,
Daigle, September 2004.
RFC7482, Request for Comments: 7482, Registration Data Access
Protocol (RDAP) Query Format, Newton, et al, March 2015.
— MOTION ENDS –
