Under IPR review
· SC095: Clean-up 2025 (IPR Review ends 2026-03-29 15:00:00 UTC) - This will unblock the next set of draft ballots underway
Cleared IPR review, new Guidelines
· None
Draft / Under Consideration
· SC087: Registration Number Improvement for EV Certificates (Corey) - Will begin after new BRs are released from clean up ballot SC095.
· SC098: Process RFC 8657 CAA Parameters (Wayne) - PR title is slightly different from this; Wayne will sync them up. Chris Clements is now ballot supporter. Will submit once SC095 clears IPR. Do need to make sure ballots do not conflict with one another. Bylaws require different handling when two drafts are in flight - want to avoid that as much as possible. This touches 3.2.2.8 and 4.2.2.1 so probably ok to move forward. SC087 is for EV guidelines, so no conflict.
· SC0XX: Cleanup for ADN CNAME (Aaron) - Discussed thoroughly at the Face-to-Face; will be included in those meeting minutes.
· SC0XX: Improve Certificate Problem Reports and Clarify the Meaning of Revocation (Martijn) - One endorser, looking for second endorser; few comments on pull request to work through next week.
· SC0XX: Update Revocation timeline for errors affecting CP/CPS deviations but in accordance with the BRs (Dimitris) - Discussed at Face-to-Face. Dimitris reached out to initial supporters for feedback on whether or not to proceed. Trying to get consensus before moving forward. Also needs two endorsers yet.
· SC0XX: Modernize EVG Domain Ownership Reuse Requirement to Reference Section 3.2.2.7 (Dustin) - Dustin has obtained feedback and working through those comments yet.
Any Other Business
- Dimitris brought up the size of ballot titles. Within the table that shows the ballots that are passed, long titles mess up the formatting of the table. Requested submitters to limit the size of the title as much as possible. Dimitris will check if there's an advisable number for how markdown renders the table (approx 64 characters).
Next call: April 9, 2026
Adjourn
Dimitris: meeting adjourned.
