    October 16, 2014 by Ben WilsonVoting on Ballot 123 – Reuse of Information closed on 16 October 2014. The Chair received “yes” votes from Actalis, ANF, Buypass, Certinomis, Chunghwa Telecom, Comodo, DigiCert, Disig, Entrust, GlobalSign, GoDaddy, Google, Izenpe, Kamu Sertifikasyon Merkezi, Logius PKIoverheid, Microsoft, Mozilla, Opentrust, QuoVadis, SSC, Symantec, Trend Micro, TURKTRUST, TWCA, and WoSign. Opera abstained. Therefore, Ballot 123 passed. This is the ballot from the EV working group that attempts to clarify the language in 11.14 (11.13 previous to the verified method of communication ballot) without changing any of the requirements. Previous section 11.13 was poorly organized with lots of semi-conflicting statements on when data re-verification was required. Changes were not tracked in this ballot as every single section was moved or rewritten, making any comparison futile.
