May 8, 2025 by CA/B Forum and Server Certificate WG Teleconference - 2025-05-08Meeting Title: CA/Browser Forum Date: 8 May 2025 Chair: Dean Coclin Minutes Taken By: Wayne Thayer 1. Roll Call and Housekeeping Meeting called to order by Dean Coclin; recording in process. 2. Note-well Note-well has already been read. 3. Review Agenda No changes to the agenda. 4. Approval of Minutes April 10th (Trev) - these are still pending. April 24th (Thomas) - have been posted to the management list; minutes approved. F2F#64 - minutes approved. 5. Server Certificate Working Group update (Dimitris) SCWG Discussed recent comments on SC081; no action needed. Discussion on ability to lock comments on PRs and request to Infrastructure SC to standardize. Ballots were discussed. Validation Subcommittee Corey reported focus on SC085 (DNSSEC ballot) and technical details/effective dates. Also discussed SC082 redux and new validation method by Michael Slaughter. Ongoing PR discussion on GitHub. 6. Code Signing Certificate Working Group update (Martijn) No call was held; no updates. 7. S/MIME Certificate Working Group update (Stephen) Discussed ACME for S/MIME ballot. Discussed tagging of pseudonyms in common names to prevent confusion. Broader discussion on adopting the detailed Section 7 structure of the TLS BRs. SMC011 exits IPR on May 14. 8. NetSec Working Group update (Clint) Discussion of NS008 and section 2.2.6 remote connections language. Potential confusion with “access to CA infrastructure” for customer portals. Proposed new term: “privileged access” to clarify. Ballot updated to version 3 and discussion period restarted. Aiming to move to voting on May 14th. 9. Definitions and Glossary Working Group (Tim C.) No update. 10. Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee update (Jos) Reviewed GitHub ‘restrict comments’ setting—agreed to use and document in CLA/readme. Ben’s meeting minutes template added to wiki; plan to test with AI transcription. Suggestion: chairs should clearly call out agenda sections for AI alignment.
