Summary

DCV/CAA logging currently is defined very broadly, leaving it unclear if DNSSEC verification logs are in scope or not. Additionally, DNS resolvers are not built for extensive logging.

This ballot aims to carve-out the logging requirements for DNSSEC specifically, stating these are not in scope. For audit purposes, change management logging is able to confirm if the appropriate controls are in effect or not.

Motion Begins

MODIFY the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" ("Baseline Requirements") based on Version 2.1.9 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: 2025-12-15 11:45 UTC
  • End time: Not Before 2026-01-07 15:00 UTC

Vote for approval (7 days)

  • Start time: TBD
  • End time: TBD
