Server Certificate Working Group update (Inigo)
Inigo can´t provide any update on the SCWG because he didn´t attend last calls (there was no call 2 weeks ago), only the ballots that have been approved and the new version of the TLS BRs due to those ballots. Inigo asked Corey to provide an update on the Validation SC.
Corey provided an update on the last week discussion on a couple of topics:
- SC81
- CAA parameters
- Wayne circulated an IETF draft on a proposal on the ACME WG
The validation SC is not meeting next week due to Thanksgiving
Code Signing Certificate Working Group update (Bruce)
Dean indicated that still discussing the max validity period for code signing certs but that Ian was not in the last call, so no much progress. But the proposed is 460 days max.
The other main topic is the email from Bruce about aligning with ballots from other WGs and how these affect the CS WG
That was last meeting for Dean and Bruce that will be replaced by Martijn and Thomas. There is not going to be a CSWG meeting due to thanksgiving.
S/MIME Certificate Working Group update (Stephen)
Couple of ballots: SMC010 closing today (related to MPIC) and SMC09 is under IPR.
A discussion going on regarding email control validation which is also under discussion on the SCWG and what to do if those methods are not used under the TLS and how affect the SMIME.
Stephen and Martijn will continue as chair and vicechair.
