Yes, 6 means f.

 

Abstentions count as participation for purposes of g.

 

Adding Kirk to clarify as he wrote this.

Dean,

 

In section 2.2 of the bylaws, (e) says "the calculation of item 6”.  However 
there is no item 6.  I’m guessing that should be “item (f)”.  I’m also not 
clear in item (g) whether “participated” includes votes not considered as per 
(e).  Has there ever been a ballot which only passed quorum due to abstentions? 
Or is abstention not counted as “participation”?

 

Thanks,

Peter

With the tentative endorsements by Trend and Mozilla, the ballot reads as 
follows:

 

Background:

Section 2.1 (a)(1) says that Issuing CAs “actively issue certificates to Web 
servers…”

 

Section 2.1(b) of the bylaws lists the items needed in a membership application 
by CAs. 

But that section does not ask the CA applicant to provide a 3rd party website 
where the CA/B Forum can validate that they are actively issuing certs to web 
servers.  We do however ask the applicant this question, after they have 
submitted their application. It would be helpful to have this in the bylaws so 
we don’t have to go back and ask every time.

 

Specific change:

 

Add under 2.1(b) 

(7) The URL of at least one third party website that is using includes a 
certificate from issued by the Applicant CA which can be examined by Forum 
members in the certificate chain.

 

Any other comments?

Dean
