Summary (5-10 minutes)
- Summary of this quarter (Dimitris)
- Topics
- Edits to §§4.9.1.1 and 7.2.2 on
revocation reason codes (30 minutes) (Ben)
- #4 superseded →
administrative/lifecycle or compliance replacement
(subscriber- or CA-initiated), explicitly not
used for compromise, identity/validation errors,
cessation, or misconduct.
- #3 affiliationChanged → CA validation/identity
error (including withdrawing any asserted binding of
identity, domain, or IP)
- #1 keyCompromise → clarified to
include weak/incorrect keys/parameters, flawed
generation/lack of randomness, systemic exposures (e.g.,
Heartbleed), or any case undermining cryptographic
assurances.
- Goal: converge on clearer,
enforceable semantics for reason codes so CAs,
subscribers, and relying party applications can
interpret them consistently—and so ingestion pipelines
(e.g., CRLite-like systems) can act on them predictably.
- Proposal:
- Technically Constrained Subordinate CAs (30 minutes)
(Ryan)
- Modifying
the revocation requirements with an exception for CP/CPS
discrepancies (30 minutes) (Dimitris)
- Discussion about upcoming ballots (30-40
minutes) (Ballot proposers)
- SC086:
Sunset the Inclusion of Address and Routing Parameter
Area Names (Corey)
- SC087:
Registration Number Improvement for EV Certificates
(Corey)
- SC090:
Gradually sunset all remaining email-based, phone-based,
and 'crossover' validation methods from Sections 3.2.2.4
and 3.2.2.5 (Ryan)
- SC-XX:
Cleanup for ADN CNAME use (Rich)
- SC-XX:
Improve Certificate Problem Reports and Clarify the
Meaning of Revocation (Martijn)
- GitHub open issues triage (20-30 minutes)
(Dimitris - Wayne)
- AOB (5-10 minutes)
Please suggest additional topics for discussion or changes to
this proposed agenda.
Best regards,
Dimitris.
