This email initiates the voting period for ballot SC-68. Please vote.


Purpose of the Ballot
The EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier values and 
require the country code of all currently-allowed Registration Schemes (NTR, 
VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1 for the 2-letter country prefix.

The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI EN 319 412-1 and then 
the SCWG made several modifications. However, there is an exception for Greece 
specifically for the VAT Registration Scheme that is aligned with Article 215 
of Council Directive 2006/112/EC that allows Greece to use the country prefix 
"EL". In practice, Greece uses the prefix "EL" to identify itself next to the 
VAT number of all Legal Entities registered/incorporated/established in Greece, 
and all other European Countries use this prefix to identify Greek VAT numbers. 
This can easily be verified in the VIES VAT number validation website where 
Greece is listed as"EL".
There is also Council Directive 2020/1756 amending Directive 2006/112/EC that 
requires the prefix "XI" for the identification of taxable persons in Northern 
Ireland.
This pull request proposes updates to the EV Guidelines to allow those 
additional prefixes. It also fixes some formatting issues.
The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and 
endorsed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Corey Bonnell of Digicert.
