Pre-ballot: SC-87: Registration Number Improvement for EV Certificates
Corey Bonnell
Hello,
Here is the pre-ballot for SC-87, which improves the requirements surrounding the inclusion of values in the serialNumber attribute. Absent any discussion or changes, I plan to start the discussion period next week.
Thanks,
Corey
Purpose of Ballot
There have been varying interpretations of the EV Guidelines on the inclusion of values in the serialNumber attribute. This ballot explicitly specifies how to encode Registration Numbers, Dates of Formation, and other values in the serialNumber attribute. Additionally, the ballot mandates a standard encoding for date values encoded within this attribute.
The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell (DigiCert) and endorsed by Ben Wilson (Mozilla) and Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA).
Motion Begins
MODIFY the " Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" ("EV Guidelines") based on Version 2.0.1 as specified in the following redline:
Motion Ends
This ballot proposes a Final Maintenance Guideline. The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:
Discussion (at least 7 days)
- Start time: TBD
- End time: TBD
Vote for approval (7 days)
- Start time: TBD
- End time: TBD
Corey Bonnell
Given that the clean-up ballot is still being tweaked, I’m going to hold off on starting the discussion period for this ballot until the clean-up ballot is through voting.
Of course, if you have any questions or comments on this ballot, please raise them here or on Github.
Thanks,
Corey
