WebPKI Observatory — Ecosystem Participation
56 organizations hold CA/B Forum membership but only 21 contribute actively to ballot development, leaving 35 with zero contribution to the standards they must implement. Stephen Davidson of Sectigo has proposed 36 ballots, demonstrating concentrated policy leadership within a small group of participants. This participation gap means a minority of CAs shape requirements binding on all 88 trusted authorities, while the silent majority implements standards without contributing to their design.
