7. Ballot Status

Ballots in Discussion Period

  • Ballot SC52 version 2: Specify CRL Validity Intervals in Seconds (Tim)

Tim said the ballot has expired and a new ballot number will need to be assigned and another discussion period started.

Tim suggested that we extend the 3-week expiration for discussion periods the next time we update the bylaws. Jos suggested adding a pause button. Tim said that the purpose is to avoid having “dead” ballots, but that 90 days seems like a more reasonable limit. Tim said that he would add this to the issues list on GitHub.

Ballots in Voting Period

None

Ballots in Review Period

  • Ballot SC50: Remove the Requirements of Section 4.1.1

Jos said that the review period for this ballot had ended.

Draft Ballots Under Consideration
