Hi All,

Per this topic, I have uploaded v-01 of draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld; 
differences are viewable at:

http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld-00&url2=draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld-01
 
<http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld-00&url2=draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld-01>

…and the diff largely consists of some technical simplification, thanks & 
acknowledgements, and typos.

I would also like to take this opportunity to correct a timeline for the 
potential death of existing “.onion” TLD certificates in the instance that the 
“.onion" special use domain is not registered in the near-to-medium term; this 
correction arises from a misunderstanding on my part of the results of CA/B 
Forum Ballot 144, and is not a substantial error (off by one month) but I would 
like it to be clear for all interested parties.

  -a

== Summary ==

All “.onion” SSL certificates will be revoked if “.onion” is not approved as a 
special use TLD on/by November 1st 2015; if “.onion" is approved then the 
certificates will persist without action being required.

= Timeline =

== March 2014 ==

CA/B Forum approve Ballot 144, paving a route to “proper” SSL Certificates for 
Onion Sites

== Current Day Goes Here ==

Hello world.

== 1 May 2015 ==

All existing ".onion” SSL Certificates which were issued under the “local 
names” exception “must” be revoked by their issuer, the expectation being that 
the certificate holder will receive a new Ballot-144-compliant “EV” Onion 
certificate.  This is what i was not formerly clear regarding, and see below 
because...

== 1 October 2015 ==

The "Local Names” exception, under which SSL Onion certificates were originally 
issued, dies; this will doubly-kill all the Onion certificates, however the 
Ballot-144-compliant “EV” Onion certificates have until…

== 1 November 2015 ==

…which is the CA/B Forum “deadline” for IETF to approve “.onion” as a TLD; if 
“.onion” is not approved by this time then the certs will be “turned off” / 
killed by the certificate authorities.
