Ballot 129 – PSL in BR 11.1.3 (passed)
August 4, 2014 by Ben WilsonVoting on Ballot 129 closed on 4 August 2014. Voting in Favor were: DigiCert, Disig, GlobalSign, GoDaddy, Symantec, Trend Micro, Trustwave, WoSign, and Mozilla. None were opposed and none abstained. Quorum was met and Ballot 129 passed resulting in Baseline_Requirements_V1_1_9. Gerv Markham of Mozilla made the following motion, and Ben Wilson from Digicert and Rick Andrews from Symantec have endorsed it. Reason for Ballot This ballot simply clarifies how to use the “Public Suffix List” (PSL) in Section 11.1.3 of the Baseline Requirements. The explanation in the footnote to section 11.1.3 of the Baseline Requirements about how to use the PSL is ambiguous because the PSL has two sections–the “ICANN DOMAINS” section and the “PRIVATE DOMAINS” section. Therefore, clarification is needed to explain that it is the ICANN DOMAINS section of the PSL that CAs should use.

Baseline Requirements 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 Re-Posted
July 22, 2014 by Ben WilsonA couple of formatting errors were identified in the Baseline Requirements, and versions 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 have been replaced with corrected versions. Appendix A in versions prior to version 1.1.7 had parts of RSA public key exponent requirements as superscript. It should have read: “The CA SHALL confirm that the value of the public exponent is an odd number equal to 3 or more. Additionally, the public exponent SHOULD be in the range between 216+1 and 2256-1.” That is corrected in version 1.1.7. Also, versions 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 had combined the text at the end of section 11.1.4 as part of the title of section 11.2. That has been corrected in those two versions.
