I agree with Bruce, and I think we might also want to synchronize the effective 
dates.  Many customers have a variety of kinds of certificates included in the 
same contract, and having two different sets of terminology for the same legal 
document involved in the same contract would be really confusing.  “Party B 
agrees to abide by document X, which is called either the Subscriber Agreement 
or Terms of Service depending on whether a TLS certificate is being issued or 
not …”

If we’re going to do this (and I have no idea what our legal thinks of this 
proposal), we probably need to rip the bandaid off across all three groups 
simultaneously.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the simplification. I also think the ballot should address the EV 
Guidelines, which also uses both terms. Could you please review?

From the CAB Forum point of view, I am concerned with this ballot, since I 
believe the Code Signing and S/MIME BRs use the current terms. This may put the 
requirements out of sync, which may impact CAs which issue different 
certificate types. Hopefully the Code Signing and S/MIME working groups will 
also review and consider addressing these changes if the ballot passes.

We do need to address this type of issue in an overall set of requirements to 
address all certificate types.


Thanks, Bruce.

It would remove the concept of a separate "Terms of Use" and replace it with 
"Subscriber Agreement" and make several other changes with respect to 
"Subscriber Agreements".
Is anyone interested in endorsing?
Thanks,
Ben
