Ben also mentioned that he had added minutes pages for working groups to the website.

Code Signing Certificate Working Group update – Janet Hines said the group worked on alternate language for the ballot on malware revocations that they would be discussing next week. Also, in section 7.1.4.2.3 there are references to the SSL/TLS Baseline Requirements that need to be removed.

Network Security Working Group update – Ben Wilson said that the cloud computing sub-group was reviewing the Cloud Security Alliance’s security controls matrix, and on the last NetSec WG call they developed some narrative guidance language to proceed each of the four major sections of the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements.
