    December 6, 2012 by Ben WilsonNotes of meeting CAB Forum 6 December 2012 Version 1 Present: Rick Andrews, Ben Wilson, Kirk Hall, Yngve Pettersen, Atsushi Inaba, Eddy Nigg, Jeremy Rowley, Dean Coclin, Mads Henriksveen, Sissel Hoel, Wayne Thayer, Ryan Koski, Ryan Sleevi, Geoff Keating, Gerv Markham, Rich Smith, and Håvard Molland. Agenda Review: the agenda was reviewed. Approve Minutes of 19 Nov 2012: The minutes of 19 November 2012 were approved as published. Report on ETSI CA Day: Among those in attendance were Yngve, Ben, Robin, Mads, Sissel, Iñigo, Dean, Tom, Arno, Nick Pope, Steve R., Tony Nagel, Moudrick, and several others. During CA Day, Dean, Ben and Robin provided an update on the implementation of the Baseline Requirements. One of the main topics during CA Day was CA auditing, and Nick Pope, Iñigo, Arno, and Christoph Sutter updated attendees on CA auditing and the work of ETSI STFs. (See Arno’s email dated 18-Dec-2012.) Representatives of the European Commission explained the proposed update of regulations concerning the 1999 Electronic Signature Directive (1999/93/EC). The main purpose of the regulations is to remove legal barriers to cross-border transactions (see this document), but it might also include an initiative to regulate SSL certificates. The approach would be to recognize EV certificates as “qualified website authentication certificates” IF the issuer is subject to member state supervision. Ben said he had reviewed the draft regulation (this link) and that it did not go into those specific details. Ben also reported that several CAs in the meeting questioned the efficacy of that solution because there would not be any further browser enhancement of trust displays for such certificates. He also said that he had suggested that EV could be used as a standalone solution and that the EC should tailor a separate solution around the perceived problem, whatever it is that they are trying to solve, e.g. Diginotar, etc.

Minutes of Meeting 20-Sept-2012 Minutes of 20 September 2012 were approved as published. Ballot status It was noted that the only open ballot was Ballot 91 for election of a chair and vice-chair. Dean asked about Ballot 89, and Rick said that he was updating the EV processing requirements based on comments from Kathleen Wilson. The group noted that Yngve’s proposed ballot on BR issues 6, 8, 10 and 21 had been posted on the wiki. Ben said he still needed to clean it up and assign a ballot number to it. On BR issues 15 and 29, those had been modified a bit by Rick, but after Bruce left Steve Roylance became the owner of it. Dean asked Atsushi to touch base with Steve. Ben asked about whether there was still any confusion between IDNA2003 and IDNA2008. Brad said that we’re moving to IDNA2008, which is good.
