[cabf_validation] Proposed ballot - EV State Optional

[Bruce Morton]

Here is a proposed ballot per my action.
Thanks, Bruce.
Background:
There is confusion on whether the state or province OID MUST be included in an EV certificate. EV section 9.2.7 states in one place "State or province (where applicable)" and also "City, state and country - Required."
Since many countries do not have states or provinces and some that do have states or provinces do not use them for their address, it is proposed that inclusion of the state or province OID should be optional.
-- MOTION BEGINS --
Current section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines:
Required/Optional: City, state, and country - Required; Street and postal code - Optional
Proposed section 9.2.7 of EV Guidelines:
Required/Optional: City and country - Required; Street, state and postal code - Optional
-- MOTION ENDS --
The review period for this ballot shall commence at 2200 UTC on XX, and will close at 2200 UTC on XX. Unless the motion is withdrawn during the review period, the voting period will start immediately thereafter and will close at 2200 UTC on XX. Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread.
A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the response. A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote to abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will not be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting member before the close of the voting period will be counted. Voting members are listed here: https://cabforum.org/members/
In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast by members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by members in the browser category must be in favor. Quorum is currently nine (9) members- at least nine members must participate in the ballot, either by voting in favor, voting against, or abstaining.
