I agree that a standard is premature.
I think it would be useful to look at the range of options and their
implications. If the IETF is going to agree to anything, 18 months is a
laughably short schedule. It can take longer than that from last call to
publication as an RFC.
I still think that the intent of the bill and mentioning IETF in the
bill has been in order to make sure that the FTC's plan does not break
email standards, NOT that the IETF should go ahead and make up its own
standard:
"by means of compliance with Internet Engineering Task Force Standards"
