August 28, 2025 by CA/B Forum Teleconference - 2025-08-281. Roll Call For attendance, see Item 15 below. 2. Review of Agenda The agenda was reviewed. One additional item was added under Any Other Business: the notice from Buypass CA regarding the cessation of TLS issuance. 3. Approval of Minutes Minutes of 31 July 2025 plenary, prepared by Aaron Gable, were approved without objection. Minutes of 17 July 2025, prepared by Scott Rea, are still being finalized. Minutes of 10 April 2025, which were to be prepared by Trev, remain outstanding. Aaron Poulsen noted that he has the recording and can assist with preparing them. 4. Server Certificate Working Group update Dimitris Zacharopoulos reported that the WG had continued its work on ballots and discussions of DNSSEC requirements. He noted that Sectigo has published P-521 keys to its GitHub repository. 5. Code Signing Certificate Working Group update Martijn Katerbarg reported that the ballot to reduce the validity period now has two endorsers and is progressing. He also described plans for a presentation at the Warsaw face-to-face meeting by representatives of the Canadian police on malware and its impacts. A guest contributor accompanying them has requested anonymity in the public minutes. The group agreed that the individual’s name would be redacted. 6. S/MIME Certificate Working Group update Martijn, serving as vice chair, reported that SMC-013 (PQC for S/MIME) has been adopted and the IPR review period has closed. Work continues on a charter update and discussions relating to SMC-014 (DNSSEC for CA records) and the treatment of pseudonyms. 7. NetSec Working Group update Clint Wilson reported that the WG has begun considering possible policies concerning the use of artificial intelligence in WebPKI. The group also continues to explore issues related to the use of cloud services. 8. Definitions and Glossary Working Group Tim Callan explained that the WG has been slowed by limited resources, but Sectigo has now assigned a project manager to drive progress. A kickoff is scheduled, and activity is expected to increase. 9. Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee update Jos Purvis reported that all e-mail processing for cabforum.org has been migrated to Google Workspace, resolving prior issues caused by the split between systems. The old mail server will be retired after list archives are transferred. The Subcommittee is also clarifying the process for saving IPR policy agreements online, particularly from Interested Parties, to ensure consistent handling. 10. Intellectual Property Rights Subcommittee Ben Wilson reported that the Subcommittee had reviewed a request from Deutsche Telekom to exclude affiliates from coverage under the IPR Policy Agreement. This request was rejected as inconsistent with the IPR Policy Agreement signed by all other members. Deutsche Telekom has been informed. The Subcommittee is also finalizing proposed updates to the IPR Policy, which will soon be circulated for member review. The Subcommittee also discussed Contributor License Agreements (CLA) and possible GitHub configurations to ensure alignment with the IPR policy. The Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee would be asked to look into this. 11. Bylaws Changes No report was provided. 12. Any Other Business The Forum discussed whether Deutsche Telekom should continue to attend face-to-face meetings without signing the IPR Policy Agreement. It was agreed that they may attend the October 2025 meeting in Warsaw, but that their continued participation will need to be reconsidered if they remain unwilling to sign. Dean Coclin reminded members that registration for the Warsaw meeting is open, with capacity limited to 75 participants and a registration deadline of 15 September 2025. Dean also informed members of Buypass CA’s notice that it will cease issuing TLS certificates by October 2025, citing commercial reasons. Buypass will continue to provide revocation and status services for previously issued certificates until their expiration or revocation, no later than October 2026, and will remain a Forum member until that time. However, it was also mentioned that Buypass might still be intending to issue other types of publicly trusted certificates. Finally, members were reminded that the agenda for the Warsaw plenary includes a session for CA presentations. Interested CAs should notify the Chair of their proposed topics. 13. Next Call The next plenary teleconference will be held on 11 September 2025. 14. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned.

2025-07-17 Minutes of the Forum
July 17, 2025 by CA/B Forum Teleconference - 2025-07-17Meeting Title: CA/Browser Forum Date: 17 July 2025 Chair: Dean Coclin Minutes Taken By: Scott Rea 1. Roll Call and Housekeeping Meeting called to order by Dean Coclin with support from Tim Callan; recording in process. 2. Note-well Note-well has already been read in previous session. 3. Review Agenda Agenda anticipated as posted. 4. Approval of Minutes None to approve on today’s call April 10th - still pending (Dean to re-send link to Aaron Poulsen) F2F minutes requires 1 more item from Martijn 5. Server Certificate Working Group update SCWG (Wayne) Wayne indicated earlier meeting was first in some time since F2F (2 meetings skipped). For the prior meeting SC085 (Require DNSSEC for CAA and DCV Lookups) passed so now IPR review period in progress. Validation Subcommittee (Wayne from Corey’s minutes) Last meeting had 2 major talking points discussed: SC088 persistent DCV ballot. Doug raised some questions which were worked through in the meeting. Henry provided some options and the approach was agreed as being solid. Validation Summit proposal. Send a survey for identifying which methods CAs are using – decided probably not going to do this, but rather use CCADB Report instead. Decided to focus on 2 aspects the validation methods: i) the security of the method; ii) the agility of the method. Chrome proposed new draft ballot to deprecate all methods that use email and phone as a methos of contacting applicants. So maybe there will be impact to Validation Summit based on the discussion. 6. Code Signing Certificate Working Group update Martijn not available so Dean called for any updates from those attending. Karina: Microsoft working on ballot for reduction of validity - looking for additional endorser. Also cleanup ballot for alignment with TLS BRs discussions are on-going. 7. S/MIME Certificate Working Group update (Stephen) SMC012 (automation of mailbox control using ACME) is out of IPR Review and now adopted as of 1 week ago. In voting period for SMC013 (PQC for SMIME) closes in a few days. On-going discuss around pseudonyms for personal certificates is progressing. There will be a Forum level ballot at the end of summer to update the Charter for the Group. 8. NetSec Working Group update (Clint) Main discussion topic was Cloud Services in the context of public CAs. Tobi put together a starter document to facilitate discussion. NS008 (Updates to CA Infrastructure Scope, Trusted Roles, Systems’ Applicability, and various other improvements) came out of IPR, and effective date is scheduled for later this year. Clint mentioned he is having some GitHub issues getting NS008 finalized. 9. Definitions and Glossary Working Group (Tim & Tim) Not a lot of feedback on Definitions thus far so next steps is take one more pass, produce document and then proceed with a ballot. The document is expected that it will be a policy document - it is not a requirements document. Wendy indicated she did not see the definitions circulated, so they will be re-posted to the list. 10. Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee update (Ben) Wayne had some comments around on-going saga to fix permissions on mailing list, and how to approach that. It is a WIP. 11. Intellectual Property Rights Subcommittee (Ben) Forum-036 Ballot - Adopt Invited Experts Policy has passed. Next meeting scheduled for next Tuesday to begin addressing remaining items. 12. Bylaws Changes (Ben) Ben planning to progress forum bylaws change ballot once summer is over e.g. September timeline. 13. Entrust Status in CABF (Bruce) Entrust does not, or soon will not issue TLS certificates anymore after key(s) transfer to Sectigo, however they are still doing some Code Sign certificates currently. The goal is that by 1st week of September, Sectigo will have control of all keys (including CS). So after that point, Entrust will not qualify under current membership category (Certificate Issuer), but may be looking to transition to Interested Party type member at that point. Bruce will provide update after actions are complete. Tim H indicated that the qualifying event is not necessary the key transfer but rather “trusted by Root Programs” criteria. Tim C indicated that Entrust is still a trusted CA for CS purposes, so in this instance it’s a voluntary withdrawal when it happens. Wayne lead the appreciation for all the effort contributions Bruce & Co have made to the CABF. 14. Any Other Business Registration for Warsaw is open – please indicate attendance for planning purposes. Note that Trusted Economy Forum is also being held adjacent to this meeting.
