Purpose of Ballot
The IP Reverse Address Domain Names (“in-addr.arpa” and “ip6.arpa”) are components of the Internet infrastructure and are not intended to include hostnames. As a result, it is undesirable to permit the issuance of publicly trusted TLS certificates containing hostnames under “in-addr.arpa” and “ip6.arpa”. This ballot establishes a sunset on this practice.
Motion
The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell (DigiCert) and endorsed by Clint Wilson (Apple) and Tobias Josefowitz (Opera).
Motion Begins
MODIFY the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Server Certificates” (“TLS Baseline Requirements”) based on Version 2.1.7 as specified in the following redline:
