5. Follow-up on new WG Charters

Ben reported that he is working on the new WG Charters. The Chair asked Members that are interested in joining new WGs related to S/MIME and/or Code Signing to please come forward and assist with the chartering process.

Kirk suggested that we should collect provisions applicable to all CWGs (including their Subcommittees) for matters related to public minutes, posting things on a public mailing list, and add them in a Forum ballot. He volunteered to draft a “proto” ballot and other member can add language that would end up in a ballot to update the Bylaws.

Kirk noted that the Certificate Consumers for new Working Groups will need to be described and suggested we discuss this topic on the public list as well.

6. Forum Infrastructure Working Group update

Jos reported that the WG had a meeting and spent most time discussion about document management and the canonical version of the Guidelines. The WG seems to be settling down to suggesting Markdown and GitHub as the canonical versions to the Forum. There are still some issues to resolve to make sure that Markdown will meet the necessary Formatting requirements identified by the WG. In particular, the WG wants to make sure that the produced PDFs meet the formatting requirements.

The role of the Chair or Vice-Chair in WGs was also discussed, in regards to making changes to the canonical documents and the balloting procedure. Some instructions are currently being drafted by the Chair with the assistance of Vice-Chairs
