Ballot Forum-14: Creation of S/MIME Certificates Working Group
Purpose of the Ballot
The CA/Browser Forum underwent a two-year long governance reform exercise,
modifying the Bylaws to allow the creation of working groups that covered
topics other than server certificates. While originally motivated by the
inability to maintain requirements for code signing certificates, it was
anticipated from the start that this would also provide an opportunity to
create other working groups that could develop and maintain certificate
profiles and requirements for other kinds of certificates. While a number of
regional and technical standards exist regarding the creation and issuance of
S/MIME certificates, there is no current global forum for certificate
authorities and those who consume or use S/MIME certificates to come together
and develop and maintain policies and standards for those certificates. This
lack of standards has impeded the adoption and interoperability of S/MIME
certificate worldwide. This ballot would establish a working group chartered
to develop and maintain such standards for S/MIME certificates, including but
not limited to two important priorities: a uniform certificate profile for the
issuance of publicly-trusted S/MIME certificates, and validation requirements
for such certificates.
-- MOTION BEGINS –
Establish S/MIME Certificates Working Group
Upon approval of the CAB Forum by ballot in accordance with section 5.3 of the
Bylaws, the S/MIME Certificates Working Group (“SMWG”) is created to perform
the activities as specified in the Charter, with the Charter as described here
