Dear all, Below is a revised ballot based on ballot 167 which failed to get quorum. I was unable to get consensus on language around the new RFC reference text the previous ballot had in section 7, so it has been removed.
As a reminder, the intention here is that all SSL certificates that were allowed under the BRs are still allowed. This is a set of corrections and normative reference updates (such as moving OCSP to RFC 6960 to affirmatively allow SHA-2 family signatures on responses). I think that all the contentious material has been removed and is being held for future ballots, so I hope that this will move forward. Do I have at least two endorsers? Thanks, Peter Ballot 168: Baseline Requirements Corrections (Revised) The following motion has been proposed by Peter Bowen of Amazon and endorsed by ___________________: Background: A number of small corrections and clarifications to the Baseline Requirements have been identified.
