Right - we put the working group on pause pending the resolution of ballot 179. 
The scope, charter, etc. would all be the exact same as before. There's already 
a requirement to supply minutes for each meeting - I just failed to do so. I'll 
make sure I provide them within a week of each meeting from now on.

In my opinion, this working group was properly chartered in Ballot 143 (which I 
note Mozilla voted YES).  The working group was never formally terminated but 
rather was put in a "dormant" status since the production of ballot 169. I 
think working group members needed a break after 1.5 years of work. Restarting 
the work of this group shouldn't require a ballot unless the scope has changed.

We haven't been putting in "end dates" for working groups rather, deliverables 
which more accurately reflect the mission of the group. 

Code Signing was a different issue as I believe the argument there was there 
wasn't a formal ballot to charter the group.

Not wanting to be a process geek, but does it require a ballot to restart a WG?

Checking the wiki, it seems like we didn't follow the Bylaws when we created it 
and outline a "Working Group expiration date" (Bylaws section
5.3):
https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/143%20-%20Formalization%20of%20validation%20working%20group

Did we raise this issue before in the context of this WG, or not? (I know it 
came up in the context of the Code Signing WG...)
