Minutes 
1. Roll Call
The Chair took attendance. 
2. Read Antitrust Statement
The Antitrust Statement was read. 
3. Review Agenda
Accepted without changes. Neil volunteered to take minutes on the next call.
4. Approval of minutes from previous teleconference
Accepted without objections. 
5. Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee update
Jos gave the reports.
Website migration to the new managed WordPress installation occurred. 
A migration side effect, that the admin interfaces of any of the mailing lists 
could not be reached, was fixed very quickly by the good folks at GoDaddy.
Regarding emails: All of the old links will still redirect you automatically to 
the old server for doing any of the mailman stuff or searching archives or 
something like that.
Next step is getting the mailer system itself moved. It’s needed to resolve a 
few things with SMTP in AWS.
Did figure out the automatic builds for the new pandoc formatted baseline 
requirements documents. Now it’s just needed to stage that as a pull request 
and then we'll be using the new formats and automatically building all three 
formats using pandoc instead of the old multi step process.
Had an extensive discussion about the June meeting and planning for that. 
Together with Dimitris Jos did a Webex test meeting to look at features. Tested 
the functionality of Webex for such kind of conferences like the face to face. 
Wayne and Dimitris are putting together a proposal for how the meetings will be 
run during the virtual face to face. Like : “Somebody is going to have to 
manage the meeting. Here is how to deal with this problem, etc.”
Last reminder for committee chairs: If you have a recurring meeting scheduled 
in the old Webex site cabforum.webex.com you need to move and reschedule that 
meeting in the new account cabf.webex.com. There are instructions for that on 
the wiki.
June the old account will go away and with it all the meetings. Please archive 
any recordings of meetings you need.
Dean asked if work is ongoing on the mailman so that the emails that are 
waiting in the questions list can be approved soon.

Jos: Yes, that’s the first part of it. Change is scheduled very soon. Once it 
is resolved there will be a redirected place that will fix up all of the 
mailman interface problems. 

Dimitris: There is a workaround to make some commit to the mailman but it needs 
the requirement to manipulate the postmessage in the browser. If we just need 
to approve some pending messages in the questions list just send me the IDs of 
those requests and I will try to get them on the list.

Dean: They will be forwarded to the management list as soon as it works. There 
is nothing urgent.

6. Code Signing Working Group update
Bruce: WG will move forward with ballot to merge the two code signing 
documents. In order to close this issue off and prepare the ballot, WG is 
looking for an additional endorser. Next step will be to change the format to 
the RFC 3647 format in order to be in alignment with the same format used for 
the SSL BRs and the CPS documents. If there are important changes, these can be 
addressed before the format is changed. 

The last item concerned precisely the continuous improvement of doing changes. 
The WG ran through a list of 10 or 12 items and had people who volunteered to 
be owners. It was prioritized how they would try to address these changes as 
they progressed.

7.  New S/MIME WG Charter
Tim: Work continues. Ryan proposed changing the reference to the IPR agreement 
to more closely align it with the text presented by the server certificate WG 
in order to prevent redundancy. A few other errors were found in the Bylaws. 
Those do not necessarily block the creation of the S/Mime working group. They 
also affect the server certificate working group and  can be worked separately. 

Ryan submitted his proposed text. Modifications proposed by Clint were 
accidentally deleted by Ryan, but have subsequently been restored. 

Wayne agreed with the changes.

Tim: Will get the ballot out immediately after the call. Think everybody is 
finally on board and all the comments are addressed. 

Dimitris: OK, with an immutable link please. 

Tim: Yes. 
8.  Approval of F2F 50 Agenda
Dimitris: Introduces agenda for the plenary. It includes 1 ½ Hours  on 
Wednesday (updates from different working groups and subcommittees). An 
additional slot was added to give everyone a reminder of the elections process 
scheduled for this summer. No proposals for new topics were received. 

Tim: Proposes adding half an hour for discussion of the differences in various 
charters. We are going to have three chartered working groups. There are 
various differences in the Charters and the way they handle e.g. the Bylaws and 
the charter templates. A discussion of those issues and some of the issues 
found recently while reviewing Charters and what people think about fixing 
those issues could take place. 

Dimitris: There is already a slot for that. 20 minutes are allocated for that 
and time from the “any other business” can be used. 

Tim agrees. 

Dimitris: Time will be sufficient, because most of the Bylaw issues have been 
solved with the 2.3 update.

Tim: There are a couple of new ones. 

Dimitris: OK.

No objections. Agenda is approved. 
9. New Bylaws version 2.3 (Voting Representatives)
Dimitris: There is one significant change in the new Bylaws with regards to the 
assignment of voting representatives. Dimitris send an email to the management 
list to enable all members to  follow these instructions. He already received a 
couple of emails from members to add or remove people from different working 
groups and also the plenary level of voting representatives. Dimitris 
encourages all members to take a look at the list and notify Dean or himself by 
mail in case any changes for the code signing group are necessary. These 
updates will be added to the spreadsheet. 

Dimitris is waiting for the problems with the mailer to be fixed and is then 
going to update the Bylaws PDF on the website. 
10. Any Other Business
Dimitris: Would like to encourage people to register for the face to face. Just 
20 people have registered so far. It’s still important to know how many people 
we are expecting for each day. If you haven't registered and you plan on 
attending on the June 9 and 11, please register on the wiki. 

Dean: Will send a reminder via the management list.
