That’s actually false.  The IETF is not mentioned anywhere in our Bylaws.

Actually it is the opposite as getting the errata into that state is a defacto 
precondition to getting the BR modified.

Hello Phillip and Ryan,

IETF Erratum 5244 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5244) has been 
submitted to clarify the wording in the RFC. My original motivation for first 
proposing the Ballot was due to a (perhaps incorrect) impression that the 
process of getting an erratum into a state (such as “approved” or “held for 
document update”) where it is suitable for inclusion in the BRs is a lengthy 
process, so it would be more expedient to address the ambiguity first in the 
BRs. If that’s not the case, then I agree that it would be better to handle 
this in the same way Erratum 5065 was handled.

 

Thanks,

Corey

+1 

 

Unless the semantics are changed, an errata can be approved rather than held 
for document revision. Since we are not proposing to change the semantics, that 
would be the right approach.

 

We did have a long discussion about this with the interaction of issue and 
issuewild if people recall.

I think the order of proposed operations is inverted - we should resolve this 
in IETF first, and then the CA/Browser Forum, much like the other Erratum.

Hello,

I reported an ambiguity in the CAA RFC (RFC 6844) two weeks ago on the IETF 
LAMPS WG mailing list: 
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spasm/current/msg01104.html. Tim and 
Quirin responded to the initial email (links to their responses are at the 
bottom of that page) with excellent feedback and comments.

 

This issue was further discussed on last week’s Validation WG call, where it 
was decided that this ambiguity be resolved with a “two-pronged” approach. 
Specifically, to address the ambiguity in the short term, we are proposing some 
clarification in the wording of BR section 3.2.2.8 to allow for CAA processing 
consistent with the intent of the RFC. To address this ambiguity in the long 
term, a IETF erratum will be filed to clarify the wording in RFC 6844-bis.

 

I am looking for two endorsers for this Draft ballot.

 

The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell of Trustwave and 
endorsed by the following CA/B Forum member representatives: XXXX and YYYY to 
clarify handling of CAA Record Sets with no "issue"/"issuewild" property tag as 
described in the Ballot.

 

Purpose of this ballot:

 

RFC 6844 contains an ambiguity in regard to the correct processing of a 
non-empty CAA Resource Record Set that does not contain any issue property tag 
(and also does not contain any issuewild property tag in the case of a Wildcard 
Domain Name). It is ambiguous if a CA must not issue when such a CAA Resource 
Record Set is encountered, or if such a Resource Record Set is implicit 
permission to issue.

 

Given that the intent of the RFC is clear (such a CAA Resource Record Set is 
implicit permission to issue), we are proposing the following change to allow 
for CAA processing consistent with the intent of the RFC.

 

-- MOTION BEGINS --

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management 
of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” as follows, based upon Version 1.5.4:

 

In section 3.2.2.8, add this sentence:

CAs MAY treat a non-empty CAA Resource Record Set that does not contain any 
issue property tags (and also does not contain any issuewild property tags when 
performing CAA processing for a Wildcard Domain Name) as permission to issue, 
provided that the CAA Resource Record Set does not contain any unrecognized 
property with the critical flag set.

 

to the end of this paragraph:

When processing CAA records, CAs MUST process the issue, issuewild, and iodef 
property tags as specified in RFC 6844, although they are not required to act 
on the contents of the iodef property tag. Additional property tags MAY be 
supported, but MUST NOT conflict with or supersede the mandatory property tags 
set out in this document. CAs MUST respect the critical flag and not issue a 
certificate if they encounter an unrecognized property with this flag set.

 

-- MOTION ENDS --

 

Thanks,

Corey
