Ben and Dimitris - is this something the Policy Working Group wants to address in its proposal relating to the uses of the term CA?

One is for membership while the other is a technical reference. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of realsky(CHT) via Public Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 9:22 AM To: CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <[email protected]> Cc: realsky(CHT) <[email protected]> Subject: [cabfpub] An inconsistency for "Issuing CA" in BYLAWS and SSL BR For survey Ballot 183, I found there is an inconsistency for "Issuing CA" in BYLAWS of The CA/Browser Forum version 1.4 and SSL BR V1.4.2. In BYLAWS of The CA/Browser Forum version 1.4, 2.1 Qualifying for Forum Membership (a) CA/Browser Forum members shall meet at least one of the following criteria. (1) Issuing CA: The member organization operates a certification authority that has a current and successful WebTrust for CAs audit, or ETSI 102042 or ETSI 101456 audit report prepared by a properly-qualified auditor, and that actively issues certificates to Web servers that are openly accessible from the Internet using a browser created by a Browser member. Applicants that are not actively issuing certificates but otherwise meet membership criteria may be granted Associate Member status under Bylaw Sec. 3.1 for a period of time to be designated by the Forum. (2) Root CA: The member organization operates a certification authority that has a current and successful WebTrust for CAs, or ETSI 102042 or ETSI 101456 audit report prepared by a properly-qualified auditor, and that actively issues certificates to subordinate CAs that, in turn, actively issue certificates to Web servers that are openly accessible from the Internet using a browser created by a Browser member. Applicants that are not actively issuing certificates but otherwise meet membership criteria may be granted Associate Member status under Bylaw Sec. 3.1 for a period of time to be designated by the Forum. But in 1.6.1 Definitions of SSL Baseline Requirement Version 1.4.2, Issuing CA: In relation to a particular Certificate, the CA that issued the Certificate. This could be either a Root CA or a Subordinate CA. Sincerely Yours, Li-Chun Chen Chunghwa Telecom Co.
