Unintentional, and thanks for calling it out.  I don’t have strong feelings on 
the issue and agree broader participation is a useful goal, especially before 
requirements exist.  Certificate Consumers can, and I expect will, have their 
own opinions on what audits are appropriate and necessary once they adopt the 
requirements.  Do you have a proposed fix?

Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Update about S/MIME Charter

 

Looking through the resolved and unresolved aspects, the lack of feedback from 
you meant we still have one unaddressed matter in the draft:

 

https://github.com/cabforum/documents/pull/167/files#r392389077

- The proposed draft charter forbids any CA from participating unless they 
already have particular audit schemes, despite this document not yet existing 
nor being incorporated into audit frameworks. This has been repeatedly raised 
as an issue for the past year, and it would be useful to know whether or not 
this is intentionally not being addressed. It does seem that there doesn't need 
to be restrictions on CA membership until such a document is produced (see also 
https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/2020-March/014917.html )
