  • The minutes of the 20 July meeting were reviewed and approved by the group.
  1. GitHub Issues for the Cleanup Ballot

Inigo identified 11 open issues in the GitHub repository that needed addressing, as well as three open pull requests labeled as clean-up issues and the additional pull request that converts the EV Guidelines into RFC3647 format. He asked the working group to take a look at all of these, as he intended to prepare and submit the cleanup ballot in early September. There were no further discussion items raised around GitHub issues.

  1. Working Group Charter Change

Ben Wilson has proposed a change to the Server Certificate Working Group charter, but Ben was not on the call. This discussion was moved forward to the next meeting of the Working Group.

  1. Ballot Updates

Inigo noted an email from Bruce Morton regarding the review period of the latest ballot, but had not had time to review it. No other ballot updates were offered.

  1. Other Items

No other business items were discussed. Inigo offered to cancel the 17 August Working Group meeting to match the cancellation of the Forum meeting on that date; no objections were raised.

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 SMC015v2 was updated to remove an additional reference to the superceded ETSI EN 319 403.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).
