Ballot CSC-7v2: Update to merge EV and Non-EV clauses
February 2, 2021 by Ben WilsonVoting has closed on this ballot and the results are as follows: CAs voting in favor (7): Actalis, DigiCert, Entrust, GDCA, GlobalSign, GoDaddy, HARICA CAs opposed: None CAs abstaining: None Certificate Consumers voting in favor (1): Microsoft Certificate Consumers opposed: None Certificate Consumers abstaining: None Therefore the ballot CSC-7 passes. Purpose of the Ballot: The CSC-2 merger of the Code Signing BRs and the EV Code Signing Guidelines was done without technical changes. The result is that we have some sections where there is different text for Non-EV and EV Code Signing certificates. In many cases there was no reason to have two different requirements. In other cases, it made sense that they both have the same requirement. There were of course some items where EV is different and these clauses were not touched for now. These items were all discussed in our bi-weekly meetings. Other minor changes were the adding in a table for document revision and history and another table for effective dates within the BRs. There were also some errors corrected from the merger.

Ballot SC38: Alignment of Record Archival
December 16, 2020 by Ben WilsonThis ballot failed to go to a vote and failed pursuant to the Bylaws. This begins the discussion period for Ballot SC38: Alignment of Record Archival (which I circulated a little while ago). The following ballot is proposed by Neil Dunbar of TrustCor Systems and endorsed by David Kluge of Google Trust Services and Ben Wilson of Mozilla. Purpose of Ballot: After the updated language included in SC28 Sections 5.4.3 and 5.5.2 (of the BRs) could be in conflict. Section 5.5.2 requires all documentation relating to certificate requests and the verification thereof, and all Certificates and revocation thereof be retained for seven years after certificates cease to to be valid. Section 5.4.3 requires all audit logs of Subscriber Certificate lifecycle management event records be maintained for two years after the revocation or expiration of the Subscriber Certificate. These sections intersect at the retention requirements for audit logs and archived records, as they relate to subscriber certificate lifecycle events. The retention periods are in conflict as to the length of retention.
