9.  Status of SCWG Ballots to create Subcommittees (Validation, NetSec, 
Certificate Policy/Policy Review).  Dimitris said that status hasn’t really 
changed since our last call.  Notes about the Validation and Network Security 
committees have been circulated in the past.  There was some discussion on a 
previous call and on the list to add more concrete information about the 
proposed groups’ deliverables. However, we haven’t focused on describing those 
future efforts very well yet.

10.  Creation of New Working Groups.  It was pointed out that this was not a 
Server Certificate WG issue. This item was tabled for Forum members to work on 
and discuss at large (and to be added as a topic to the Forum’s agenda in two 
weeks).

11.   Ballot Status.

SC4 – CAA Contact Property.  No comments were made.

SC5 – Phone Validation.  Doug mentioned that last Friday he sent out a 
pre-draft draft of SC5 language to address phone transfers and communications 
left on voicemail and how those should be handled.  He would like any comments 
or suggestions. He has been waiting for the CAA ballot to work its way through 
a bit more so that we can get some language about contact information formatted 
correctly,  which the phone validation ballot will leverage. Ben asked whether 
passage of the ballot would result in renumbering of the method in 3.2.2.4 to 
subsection 13 or whether it would be a clarification of the method 3? Doug 
noted that it is a manual procedure that CAs do, but if CAs are able to 
implement this during the IPR review period, then it’s not an issue.  However, 
if CAs need time to change procedures and implement new methods for handling 
voicemails, transfers, etc., and if CAs need an effective date that’s later, 
then we may need to renumber the method. Doug would like comments on this 
issue, too.

SC6 - Revocation Time Extension.  Wayne circulated a link to a version with 
revisions received thus far.  He appreciates the feedback and encourages more 
people to provide comment within the next day or so because he will be starting 
a version 2 of the ballot and continue the discussion period and take it to a 
vote.

Ballots under Consideration / Updates from Validation Subcommittee

Validation Methods in new Certificate Extension.  Wayne said that we have come 
up with a solution to encode the validation method in a bit string, but we’d 
like to have the section 3.2.2.5 IP validation methods updated prior to going 
forward with this ballot. (See next)

IP Address Validation -  Remove Any Other Method.  Tim has revised the IP 
address validation ballot on GitHub a few days ago and Wayne has commented on 
it. Wayne would like others to provide comments, too.  Once any other method is 
removed from this section he’ll move forward with the Validation Methods in new 
Certificate Extension ballot (see above).

12.  Any Other Business.  None.

13.  Next call: September 6, 2018 at 11:00 am Eastern Time.

14.  Adjourned
