2. Ballot Status

Ballot SC-101: Clarify Authorization Domain Names

• The voting period just ended.
• Dimitris intends to begin the IPR period later today.

Ballot SC-102: EVG Domain Ownership Validation Reuse

Ballot SC-103: Require EKUs for Cross-Certified Subordinate CAs

• No updates, still in extended discussion.

Ballot SC-100: DNSSEC Clarification and Consolidation

• Rich Smith says on-list discussion has been light, and invites additional discussion here.
• The primary discussion has been about introducing clarity around what CA do need to log, rather than just carve-outs for what they don't need to log.
• Rich Smith is open to suggestions for how to clarify that language.
• Trevoli Ponds-White points out that doing so would change the ballot's scope from just consolidation to logging changes as well.
• Rich and Dimitris think it would fall under the existing "clarification" scope.
• Scott Rea asks if this clarification should actually block the ballot? Maybe it could be saved for a follow-up cleanup ballot.
• Dimitris says that a cleanup ballot isn't the right place for changing logging requirements.
• Trevoli says that they'll try to put together clearer language in the next week, and that the ballot should just move on if they can't get consensus on a proposal.

Ballot SC-XX: Improve Certificate Problem Reports

• No update.

Ballot SC-XX: Allow ML-DSA

• No update.
