Slight correction to the voting results: the number of CAs voting yes is 22, 
not 23. The error was in the first bullet below.

Bylaw Requirements

1.     Bylaw 2.3(f) requires:

A "yes" vote by two-thirds of Certificate Issuer votes and by 50%-plus-one of 
Certificate Consumer votes. Votes to abstain are not counted for this purpose.
This requirement was MET for Certificate Issuers and MET for Certificate 
Consumers.

At least one Certificate Issuer and one Certificate Consumer Member must vote 
in favor of a ballot for the ballot to be adopted.
This requirement was MET.

2.    Bylaw 2.3(g) requires that a ballot result only be considered valid when 
“more than half of the number of currently active Members has participated”. 
Votes to abstain are counted in determining quorum. Half of the currently 
active members at the start of voting was 14, so the quorum was 15 for this 
ballot.
This requirement was MET.


-----  NEXT STEPS - INSTRUCTIONS FOR CA/BROWSER FORUM MEMBERS -----

Existing CA/Browser Forum members must declare their intent to participate in 
the NetSec WG by email to  <mailto:[email protected]> 
[email protected], including a statement of the Voting Class by which they 
qualify and the names/email addresses of their designated representatives who 
will participate and who will vote. We recommend that this be done by January 
15, 2022.

Once declarations of participation have been gathered, the NetSec WG’s acting 
chair will convene a meeting tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, January 18, 
2022, at 2 PM EDT, the agenda for which will include:
-       Adopting a list of initial members from the list of proposed, 
qualifying applicants in conformance with the NetSec WG Charter
-       Appointing a Chair, Vice Chair, and Webmaster for the NetSec WG

-       Discuss the WG’s first ballot – adoption of the Network and Certificate 
System Security Requirements (NCSSRs) and the IPR review period
-       Outline the goals and deliverables of the NetSec WG

 

In the interim, the NCSSRs remain a valid guideline of the CA/Browser Forum. 
Existing members of the working groups that have adopted the current NCSSRs are 
bound by the IPR Policy’s Royalty-Free license.
