[cabfpub] Ballot 123 - Revisions to former section 11.13

[Jeremy.Rowley]

I updated the email subject to make the ballot easier to follow. Please 
comment on this email thread instead of the other.

> Hi everyone,
>
> 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.

> *Ballot 123 – Reuse of Information*
>
> Revised Section 11.14 (previous 11.13)
>
> Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert  made the following motion, and Cecilia Kam 
> of Symantec and Joanna Fox of GoDaddy have endorsed it.
>
> Motion Begins
>
> Section 11.14 is amended to read as follows:
>
> *11.14 Requirements on the Re-use of Documentation *
>
> For each EV Certificate Request, including requests to renew existing 
> EV Certificates, the CA MUST perform all authentication and 
> verification tasks required by these Guidelines to ensure that the 
> request is properly authorized by the Applicant and that the 
> information in the EV Certificate is still accurate and valid. This 
> section sets forth the age limitations on for the use of documentation 
> collected by the CA.
>
> *11.14.1 Validation For Existing Subscribers *
>
> If an Applicant has a currently valid EV Certificate issued by the CA, 
> a CA MAY rely on its prior authentication and verification of:
>
> (1) The Principal Individual verified under Section 11.2.2 (4) if the 
> individual is the same person as verified by the CA in connection with 
> the Applicant’s previously issued and currently valid EV Certificate;
>
> (2) The Applicant's Place of Business under Section 11.4.1;
>
> (3) The Applicant’s Verified Method of Communication required by 
> Section 11.5, provided that the CA verifies the communications as 
> required by Section 11.4.2 (2)(A);
>
> (4) The Applicant's Operational Existence under Section 11.6;
>
> (5) The Name, Title, Agency, and Authority of the Contract Signer and 
> Certificate Approver under Section 11.8; and
>
> (6) The Applicant's right to use the specified Domain Name under 
> Section 11.7, provided that the CA verifies that the WHOIS record 
> still shows the same registrant as when the CA verified the specified 
> Domain Name for the initial EV Certificate.
>
> *11.14.2 Re-issuance Requests *
>
> A CA may rely on a previously verified certificate request to issue a 
> replacement certificate, so long as the certificate being referenced 
> was not revoked due to fraud or other illegal conduct, if:
>
> (1) The expiration date of the replacement certificate is the same as 
> the expiration date of the EV Certificate that is being replaced, and
>
> (2) The Subject Information of the Certificate is the same as the 
> Subject in the EV Certificate that is being replaced.
>
> *11.14.3 Age of Validated Data *
>
> (1) Except for reissuance of an EV Certificate under Section 11.14.2 
> and except when permitted otherwise under Section 11.14.1, the age of 
> all data used to support issuance of an EV Certificate (before 
> revalidation is required) SHALL NOT exceed the following limits:
>
> (A) Legal existence and identity – thirteen months;
>
> (B) Assumed name – thirteen months;
>
> (C) Address of Place of Business – thirteen months;
>
> (D) Applicant's telephone number – thirteen months;
>
> (E) Operational existence – thirteen months;
>
> (F) Domain Name – thirteen months;
>
> (G) Name, Title, Agency, and Authority– thirteen months, unless a 
> contract between the CA and the Applicant specifies a different term, 
> in which case, the term specified in such contract controls. For 
> example, the contract MAY include the perpetual assignment of EV roles 
> until revoked by the Applicant or CA, or until the contract expires or 
> is terminated.
>
> (2) The thirteen-month period set forth above SHALL begin to run on 
> the date the information was collected by the CA.
>
> (3) The CA MAY reuse a previously submitted EV Certificate Request, 
> Subscriber Agreement, or Terms of Use, including use of a single EV 
> Certificate Request in support of multiple EV Certificates containing 
> the same Subject, to the extent permitted under Sections 11.9 and 11.10.
>
> (4) The CA MUST repeat the verification processes required in these 
> Guidelines for any information obtained outside the time limits 
> specified above except when permitted otherwise under section 11.14.1.
