Minutes 
1. Roll Call
The Vice-Chair took attendance 
2. Read Antitrust Statement
The Antitrust Statement was read 
3. Review Agenda
Today's Agenda was approved.
4. Approval of minutes from F2F 46 and previous teleconference
The minutes from the previous teleconference were approved and will be 
circulated to the public list.

The minutes from F2F 46 were approved and will be posted to the public web 
site. 
5. Forum Infrastructure Working Group update
Jos reported that we are proceeding with the planned upgrade of the wiki and 
other mailer services migration. Amazon has provided us with AWS resources so 
we're able to spin up EC2 and S3 resources to support that migration.

The wiki will be switching to read-only next week according to the migration 
plan and move to its own system. 

Kirk asked if this will be the same wiki platform or will members be required 
to learn a new wiki.  Jos responded that the interface of the new wiki is very 
similar to the old one so it's not expected to be any complicated. Just like 
the current one, there is a graphical interface which helps updating pages and 
content on web pages. Jos also said that when the migration is complete, he 
will ask for some time in an upcoming call to demo the new wiki.

New credentials will be required and this will be based on the current 
representatives list.

Kirk also recommended a creation or a reference to a "cheat sheet" for those 
that might miss the demo on our next call.

Dean asked when is this migration expected to happen and Jos replied the it 
will start Monday May 6th and hopefully end by Friday May 10th.

Dean asked members who are planning to attend the F2F in Thessaloniki to 
register their names today because the wiki will not be editable next week.

Wayne asked about the mail system migration and Jos responded that it will be 
migrated at the same time. The plan is to migrate the mailer without creating 
an outage. Wayne's concern is when changing IP addresses on mail servers, there 
is a chance for messages not being delivered or getting bounced back. So we 
should avoid any voting being scheduled for next week.
6. Code Signing Working Group update 
Dean reported that the CSCWG had a call last week. Ben has drafted a ballot to 
adopt the minimum requirements for code signing. Improvements are already being 
gathered for the minimum requirements and the EV Code Signing requirements.
7. Follow-up on new S/MIME WG Charter

Tim will provide a draft in a week or two.
8. Bylaws and existing SCWG Charter update ballot
Wayne mentioned that the ballot is in a pretty good shape and he spent quite 
some time with Dimitris to create a clean redline version on GitHub. During 
this process a new problem was discovered. When we moved the membership 
criteria out of the Bylaws and into the Working Group Charters, we moved the 
definitions of Root Certificate Issuers and Certificate Issuers out of the 
Bylaws. This creates a potential problem when voting at the Forum level because 
we lost the definitions for the voting categories (Root Certificate Issuers, 
Certificate Issuers, Certificate Consumers). So, we put the definitions back 
into the bylaws to address this issue. 

We also clarified that the voting rules of the Forum keep the same membership 
category as in the Working Group. So a Certificate Consumer in a Working Group 
will vote as a Certificate Consumer at the Forum level, which is what we've 
been doing already.

Finally, there were some improvements in the formatting of the document to 
resolve some markdown viewing issues.

The ballot is in the discussion period since last Friday and according to our 
decision at the last F2F, we agreed to leave it open for discussion at least 2 
weeks before voting begins, so members that wish to engage their legal counsels 
will have the time to do that. So, the ballot will remain in discussion period 
for next week and if there are no comments we will initiate the voting period 
after the e-mail migration is complete. If anyone needs an extension please ask.
9. Any Other Business
None.
