Jos reported that there was no meeting this week due to holidays for many people. Meetings will resume in September. A ballot was floated on the mailer to re-charter the working group into a subcommittee. Kirk commented that pipermail is not picking up many of the group emails. Several people questioned that and Jos said he would check with GoDaddy to make sure everything is being archived properly.

He also stated that the group discussed removing timestamping references from the code signing documents to put them into a separate, dedicated document for that exclusive purpose.

S/MIME Requirements
v1.0.13 - Ballot SMC015v2 - Mar 28, 2026

This ballot introduces requirements that a CA or RA must follow to rely upon a Mobile Drivers License (mDL) to provide evidence for the authentication of individual identity. It allows the use of mDL that conform to ISO/IEC 18013-5 and which may be verified by the CA or RA in conformance with ISO/IEC 18013-7. The CA or RA shall only accept mDL from an Issuing Authority that is legally authorized by the relevant government or jurisdiction to issue driving licenses. The draft also aligns the subsections of 3.2.4.2 (Validation of individual identity) to correspond more closely with those in 3.2.4.1 (Attribute collection of individual identity). It also includes minor editorial corrections. SMC015v2 was updated to remove an additional reference to the superceded ETSI EN 319 403. This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Ben Wilson (Mozilla) and Scott Rea (eMudhra).
