[cabfpub] Audit Period ballot draft

[Gervase Markham]

Hi everyone,

Here's a draft of the ballot to define Audit Period, using the
definition agreed with Jeff. Does it look OK? Can I get two endorsers?

Gerv

*Ballot XXX - Define "Audit Period"
*

*Purpose of Ballot: *It appears that CAs are sometimes confused by the
phrase Audit Period. This ballot adds a definition of that phrase to the
BRs, in the hope of heading off any further misunderstandings.

-- MOTION BEGINS --

Add the following definition to section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements:

*Audit Period:* In a period-of-time audit, the period between the first day (start) and the last day of operations (end) covered by the auditors in their engagement. (This is not the same as the period of time when the auditors are on-site at the CA.) Audit periods are required to be continuous in coverage from audit to audit, and of maximum length 1 year.

-- MOTION ENDS --


The procedure for approval of this Final Maintenance Guideline ballot is
as follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply with
applicable Bylaws and IPR Agreement):

showing the set of changes from the Final Guideline section(s) intended
to become a Final Maintenance Guideline, and need not include a copy of
the full set of guidelines.  Such redline or comparison shall be made
against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time a

that may be proposed subsequently, except as provided in Bylaw Section
2.3(j).
