Hello all,

Here is a draft ballot that proposes changes to section 3.2.2.4.7 of the TLS 
Server Certificate BRs that make it clear that CAs are authorized to operate 
domains for the purpose of assisting Applicants with performing DNS validation.

I am seeking two endorsers.

Note: Redline link will be replaced with the immutable commit link after two 
endorsers have been secured

Please provide any input/feedback that you may have on the PR linked below.

Thanks,
Michael Slaughter of Amazon Trust Services

Purpose of Ballot SC-XX
This ballot will provide updates to the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance 
and Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Server Certificates related to section 
3.2.2.4.7 "DNS Change". This ballot makes it clear that CAs are authorized to 
operate domains for the purpose of assisting applicants with domain control 
verification under method 3.2.2.4.7.

Notes:
* This ballot defines a "Canonical Authorization Domain Name".
* In the CNAME record: _somethingsomething.example.com. IN CNAME 
accountbindingid.cadomain.com
* _somethingsomething.example.com is an underscore prefixed Authorization 
Domain Name.
* accountbindingid.cadomain.com is the Canonical Authorization Domain Name.
* This ballot makes it clear that CAs are authorized to operate domains for the 
purpose of assisting applicants with domain control verification under method 
3.2.2.4.7 and adds requirements for the practice.
* As observed with other ballots in the past, minor administrative updates must 
be made to the proposed ballot text before publication such that the 
appropriate Version # and Change History are accurately represented (e.g., to 
indicate these changes will be represented in Version 2.0.4).
* This ballot does not modify the “Guidelines for the Issuance and Management 
of Extended Validation Certificates”.

The following motion has been proposed by Michael Slaughter of Amazon, and 
endorsed by XX of XX and XX of XX.
