3. Review Agenda

The Agenda was approved.

4. Approval of minutes from previous teleconference

The minutes from the previous teleconference were approved and will be circulated to the public list.

5. Membership application of MSC Trustgate and iTrusChina

MSC Trustgate and iTrusChina were not trusted by a Certificate Consumer of the SCWG so according to the SCWG charter they were granted Associate Membership. The WG designated a period of time of 12 months. Before this time expires, the SCWG will re-examine the associate membership status of these two CAs.

A question was raised about whether these members needed to have applied for inclusion in any Root program. The discussion resulted that this was not a necessary requirement according to the SCWG charter or the Bylaws. In any case, Dimitris confirmed that both of these CAs had applied at least to the Mozilla Root store according to Bugzilla.

6. Validation Subcommittee Update

Doug gave the report. It was a short meeting that didn’t go into a lot of details. It was mostly a preparation of topics for the F2F meeting.

7. NetSec Subcommittee Update
