Proposed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and endorsed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and Clint Wilson of Apple.

 

Purpose of Ballot

 

The Charter of the CA/Browser Forum’s IPR Subcommittee (FIPR) currently states:

 

6. End Date

 

The FIPR will submit its Deliverables to the Forum prior to April 1, 2025, and upon such date the Subcommittee is deemed dissolved.

 

The FIPR has been meeting regularly since the Forum’s adoption of the Charter.  However, due to the complexity of the issues being addressed under the Charter, more time is needed to complete the work.

 

MOTION BEGINS

 

Extend Duration of Forum IPR Subcommittee

 

Upon approval from the CA/Browser Forum by ballot in accordance with sections 2.3 and 5.6 of the Forum Bylaws, section 6 of the Charter of the Forum IPR Subcommittee is amended to read:

 

6. End Date

 

The FIPR will submit its Deliverables to the Forum prior to December 1, 2025, and upon such date the Subcommittee is deemed dissolved.

 

MOTION ENDS

 

The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:

 

Discussion (7+ days)

 

Start Time: 2025-Mar-26 02:00 UTC

End Time: After 2025-Apr-02 02:00 UTC

 

Vote for approval (7 days)

 

Start Time:  2025-04-02  1900 UTC

End Time:   2025-04-09  1900 UTC

 * At least one (1) Voting Member in each category must vote in favour of a ballot for the ballot to be adopted. This requirement was MET.
2. Bylaw 2.3(7) requires:
 * A ballot result will be considered valid only when more than half of the number of currently active Voting Members has participated.
