Minutes 
1. Roll Call
The Chair took attendance. 
2. Read Antitrust Statement
The Antitrust Statement was read. 
3. Review Agenda
Dimitris reviewed the agenda: no changes were requested. Minute-taker for the 
next call will be Dimitris. 
4. Approval of minutes from previous teleconference
Accepted without objections.
5. Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee update
Jos Purvis (Cisco): The committee met last week, with much of the discussion 
taken up with the proposed split of the documents into multiple GitHub 
repositories. The short version is that the existing /documents tree will be 
cloned into /archive, and then /documents will be renamed to /servercert for 
the SCWG. The /servercert repo will then be cleaned of any unneeded old 
branches or other documents. The other working groups (CSCWG, SMCWG) will have 
new repos created fresh for them, with any necessary hereditary git operations 
performed manually to ensure they have history for their own documents.

The committee also worked over the weekend on the issue observed with rogue 
posts to several Forum listservs. The problem appears to have been caused by 
the Forum mailer server not checking SPF records to reject spoofed emails; the 
team at GoDaddy quickly responded by updating the server to fix this. Members 
are asked to carefully review their own email servers to ensure they are 
setting SPF records correctly to avoid rejected emails to lists. 
6. Code Signing Working Group update
Dean Coclin (DigiCert): CSCWG met last week to address high-risk cert requests. 
A guest speaker talked about their experiences handing these, and the Microsoft 
team provided input on their handling of them as a certificate consumer. No 
decisions have been made yet, but it was very helpful to have background on how 
cybercriminals obtain and (mis-)use these certificates. In future, we plan to 
review EV/non-EV certificate types in detail and will get back to this in 
future meetings. Bruce has been nominated as vice-chair for the working group 
again.
7.  S/MIME Working Group update
Stephen Davidson (DigiCert): SMCWG met yesterday. For the first of our 
meetings, we didn’t have to add new members, so the number of participating 
organizations is now steady at 35. We are continuing the approach of reviewing 
the certificate profile for leaf certs field by field, gathering information 
about standards that may apply and practices from member organizations (issuers 
and consumers). Questions collected are being parked to loop back to as we 
begin filling out areas of the forthcoming baseline standards. We feel like 
we’re making good progress on this and will be contacting the Infrastructure 
subcommittee about getting things set up in GitHub soon. 
8.  Elections update
Dimitris sent an email to start vice-chair nominations, which end 15 October. 
So far we have vice-chair nominations for CSCWG (Bruce Morton), but are still 
looking for SCWG and Forum nominations. Dean nominated Karina Sirota from 
Microsoft for Forum vice-chair, with Mike Reilly and Jos Purvis seconding. This 
leaves only the SCWG position open. Dimitris confirmed that one person can 
occupy positions in more than one space (as he does today with Forum and SCWG).
9. Topics for the next virtual F2F

Dimitris has sent out the draft agenda for the upcoming virtual face-to-face 
and asked members to consider both agenda updates and any changes to the rules 
for virtual F2F, which are contained on the wiki from the previous. Things went 
well last time, but if there are recommendations for improvements in practice 
or rules, any feedback is very welcome. Dimitris and Dean welcome any feedback 
available from the community, and will be updating wiki pages accordingly. 
10. Any Other Business

No other business was discussed.

The next call will take place on October 15, 2020 at 11:30am Eastern Time.
