Regarding the contributing… I’m not even sure it should be a SHOULD. 

I like adding it as a guidance for CAs, especially any new CA that may start 
from scratch reading the BRs. So how about “CAs are encouraged to contribute to 
existing open-source linters”?

I see, it was added as a hint for CAs to also assist in improving these open 
source linting tools like some CAs have done in the past. As part of a SHOULD, 
it would be helpful to get some CAs involved into building and improving 
existing lints. 

I can remove the parenthesis and add it as a clear SHOULD if this is helpful. 

Will this work better?

PS: I will respond to Ryan's post later this week after consulting with the 
co-sponsors.

Sure, in the last para of section 4.3.1.2, the sentence “… but CAs SHOULD use 
(and help improve) the Linting tools …” and I was suggesting removing that 
“(and help improve)” because IMO this can´t go in the main 
requirement/recommendation and “the help to improve” be seen as another 
requirement instead of a suggestion or willing to act which I think is what you 
had in mind.

Hello Inigo, 

Can you be more specific? Which part of the ballot redline seems to need an 
update/removal? 


Thanks, 

DZ.

Hi Dimitris, 
I don´t know if the “(help to improve)” is adding any additional hidden 
requirement. IMO, I´d remove that.

Asunto: [Servercert-wg] Ballot SC-75 - Pre-sign linting 


CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click

is safe. 

SC-75 Pre-sign linting Summary There have been numerous compliance incidents 
publicly disclosed by CAs in which they failed to comply with the technical 
requirements described in standards associated with the issuance and management 
of publicly-trusted TLS Certificates. However, the industry has developed 
open-source tools, linters, that are free to use and can help CAs avoid 
certificate misissuance. Using such linters before issuing a precertificate 
from a Publicly-Trusted CA (pre-issuance linting) can prevent the mis-issuance 
in a wide variety of cases. 
The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and 
endorsed by Corey Bonnell of Digicert and Ben Wilson of Mozilla.
