Working Group Updates
Server Cert WG: No call today. A new version of TLS BRs (v. 2.0.4) has been published. Anyone wanting to add anything to the next F2F agenda should do so on the wiki. Corey reported that the Validation Subcommittee is working on their F2F agenda, with two topics:
- Converting the Validation Subcommittee to a full-fledged working group
- Discussing a ballot to reduce confusion that led to a recent incident (serialNumber attribute for Government Entities).
Code Signing WG: Corey reported a meeting last week:
- Dimitris is working on importing language from the EVGs into CS BRs (instead of updating section numbers, language is being added directly into the CS BRs).
- Time stamping issue - Ballot CSC-24 (v3): Timestamping Private Key Protection is in Voting Period until May 27 with new requirements for anyone running a time-stamping service.
- Relaxing requirements for HSMs and key protection based on recent experience.
- Discussion of F2F agenda items.
S/MIME WG: Martijn mentioned this week’s call was cancelled. No real update, only that the IPR review has passed on SMIME 6, the clarifications ballot. Contact Stephen with any additions to the F2F agenda.
Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee: Discussed migrating the mailing lists and creating the officers handbook.
NetSec WG: Clint mentioned this week’s call was cancelled. The ballot to amend section 4 of the NCSSRs will continue to be worked on, awaiting the IPR review period on the other NetSec ballot. Further discussions will take place at the F2F meeting on agenda items added.
IPR Subcommittee: Ballot FORUM-22 (IPR Review Subcommittee) passed. Ben will convene the new group and intends to use a Google Groups email group as a test case for mail migration.
Patent Advisory Group: PAG gave GoDaddy an extension to respond, and the PAG call is rescheduled to Monday, June 3.
