I made the following updates in addition to Wayne's:
* Added a process for Interested Party application to CWGs as it
seemed to be missing from the Bylaws. The only reference we
currently have is on the web site (https://cabforum.org/email-lists/).
* For the Server Certificate Working Group membership criteria, I
tried to align with section 8.4 of the BRs.
* On the last call, we also agreed to add sample Membership criteria
to the new Working Group Charter section. I added a simplified
version of criteria based on section 8.4 of the BRs, including
Government internal audit schemes that might also be acceptable for
the S/MIME Working Group.
* Following the example of moving the membership criteria to the CWG
Charters, I moved the "end membership" section to the Server
Certificate Working Group Charter AND the template for new WG
Charters. I believe that there was agreement that each Working Group
should determine their own rules for ending Working Group
membership, similar to determining the criteria for joining a
working group.
I hope you will find these changes acceptable and of course please send
any comments on these additional changes.
Dimitris.

On today's call we discussed an alternative approach to updating
Bylaws section 2.1: change the Forum level membership requirement to:
CWG Members are automatically granted Forum membership.
Then ensure that all CWG charters specify appropriate membership
criteria. This approach has some advantages:
* Each CWG can tailor membership requirements to their scope without
worrying about conflicting with Forum requirements
* Eliminates the Forum application process that currently requires
Applicants to submit the same information to both the SCWG and the Forum
* Clarifies the intent that CWG members must be Forum members as well
I have drafted these changes in the document at the link I sent out on
the Management list earlier today:
* Replaced all of the membership language in section 2.1 with the
statement above
* Added requirements in section 5.3.1 for CWGs to specify membership
criteria for each supported category of membership that is defined in
the Bylaws (Certificate Issuer, Certificate Consumer, Associate
Member, Interested Party)
* Added section 3 on Membership to the CWG Charter template in Exhibit C
* Added the current SCWG Charter to the end of the doc and moved the
membership criteria from the Bylaws (with most proposed changes that
were discussed earlier in this thread) into this new version of the
SCWG Charter
I also experimented with moving Bylaws section 2.2 "Ending Forum
Membership" to the SCWG Charter, but I don't think that's necessary.
I would appreciate everyone's review and comments on these changes.
If we go ahead with this, I suspect that there are other changes we
should make to the SCWG Charter - feel free to add your suggestions to
the doc.
Thanks,
Wayne
