Here is an updated version of this ballot that will allow the
Validation WG to continue as a Subcommittee after the October 3rd
sunset for Legacy Working Groups that is built into our new bylaws. I
have attempted to incorporate the feedback received on Kirk's earlier
versions of the ballot into this version. Note that v3 of this ballot
was never circulated.
I am beginning the discussion period for this ballot immediately in
hopes that we can get this passed 2 weeks from today and avoid any
temporary gap in which the Validation Subcommittee does not formally
exist. I would appreciate it if you would review this ASAP and provide
any feedback that might require us to restart the discussion period.

Purpose of Ballot
The Validation Working Group of the CA/Browser Forum will expire on
October 3, 2018 under the provisions of the new Bylaws adopted in

a Validation Subcommittee pursuant to the provisions of Bylaws Section
5.3.1(e). This ballot is based on the language in Ballot 143 which was
