[cabfpub] Certificate lifetimes: end state or trajectory?

[Ryan Sleevi]

So now that we've had our lovely chat about revocation, can we go back to
the substance of the question:

Voting has started on

As Gerv originally stated:

> requirement were something like 1st March 2019, 2 years from now.
> If we can get consensus that this reduction is OK with a long enough

> reduced to 27 months on 1st March 2018, and 13 months on 1st March 2019,
> meaning that by 1st May 2020, all unexpired certificates would be of
> lifetime 13 months or fewer.
> If members feel that even with 2 years lead time, this reduction is
> still unacceptable, we should pass ballot 193 or something like it,
> thereby indicating to the world that we have no plans for further
> reductions in a CAB Forum context.


Let's set aside the debate of revocation, and focus on the world we have,
today, and what members are expecting here.
