Of possible interest: as has been mentioned on this list in the past, the 
CA/Browser Forum (CABF) is entertaining governance reforms.

The CABF has decided on four governance proposals on which the members are 
voting. These proposals are listed on the CABF home page here..

As noted there, the CABF is soliciting public input (but not votes), and as 
noted in this email message..

..the deadline for CABF members to vote on the proposals is fast approaching, it 
is next Wednesday, Aug 8, 2012.  So get your comments in!


Full Disclosure: One of the four CABF reform proposals is authored by us at 
PayPal (my employer). We have a recent blog post regarding the governance reform 
proposals here..
