Ballot 106 – Extended Deadline to Prohibit OCSP “Good” Response for Non-Issued Certificates

Ballot 106 – Extended Deadline to Prohibit OCSP “Good” Response for Non-Issued Certificates (Withdrawn)

Motion

Given that several CAs have notified the CA/Browser Forum that they will be unable to comply with the 1-August-2013 deadline by which OCSP responders MUST NOT respond with a “good” status for unissued certificates, and that a one-year extension of this deadline is an appropriate timeframe by which these CAs should be able to come into compliance;

Kelvin Yiu made the following motion, and Eddy Nigg from StartCom, Ryan Hurst from GlobalSign, and Iida Yosiaki from SECOM, and Inigo Barreira of Izenpe endorsed it:

EFFECTIVE RETROACTIVELY TO 1 AUGUST 2013,
