This email initiates the voting period for ballot SC-68. Please vote.
Purpose of the Ballot
The EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier
values and require the country code of all currently-allowed
Registration Schemes (NTR, VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1 for the
2-letter country prefix.
The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI EN 319 412-1
and then the SCWG made several modifications. However, there is an
exception for Greece specifically for the VAT Registration Scheme that
is aligned with Article 215 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj> that allows Greece to
use the country prefix "EL". In practice, Greece uses the prefix "EL"
to identify itself next to the VAT number of all Legal Entities
registered/incorporated/established in Greece, and all other European
Countries use this prefix to identify Greek VAT numbers. This can
easily be verified in the VIES VAT number validation website
<https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation> where
Greece is listed as"EL".
There is also Council Directive 2020/1756
<https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2020/1756/oj> amending Directive
2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI" for the identification of
taxable persons in Northern Ireland.
This pull request <https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/473>
proposes updates to the EV Guidelines to allow those additional
prefixes. It also fixes some formatting issues.
