The current charter language about certificate revocation could be interpreted as raising the bar too high.  I suggest that we can keep it simple.

OLD:

ACME certificate management must, in an automated manner, allow a
party that has previously requested a certificate to subsequently
request revocation of that certificate.

NEW:

ACME certificate management must, in an automated manner, allow an
authorized party to request revocation of a certificate.
