[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC35: Cleanups and Clarifications

[Ryan Sleevi]

This begins the discussion period for Ballot SC35: Cleanups and
Clarifications

Purpose of Ballot:

This ballot attempts to fix the numerous typographical and editorial issues
that have been identified in the SCWG documents ("spring cleanup"), such as
incorrect section references, expired effective dates, or spelling and
grammatical mistakes. Additionally, it attempts to provide guidance and
clarification for language that has been viewed as ambiguous, multiple, or
conflicting interpretations.

CAs SHOULD carefully review each change, to ensure no normative impact upon
their CA operations and practices that may have resulted from these
ambiguities and consistency issues.

The following motion has been proposed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and
endorsed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Doug Beattie of GlobalSign.

This ballot is available at GitHub at
