The session is now scheduled for March 20th from 6:50 to 7:50 PM, the
last thing before dinner.
Possible items:
David Nichol has sent in a strawman proposal for a message tagging
protocol.
I have a draft describing the technical operation of DNSxLs moseying
through the new IRTF RFC process. I'd hoped to get a draft of a BCP
for managing DNSxLs in by the deadline, which didn't happen, but with
luck there'll be one in time to talk informally about it.
I've been working on some notes about using DKIM with third-party
certification services, harking back to my constant desire to get
something happening in the IAR subgroup.. There's a couple of issues
to talk about. One is the technical ways that party C (the certifier)
can tell people that they endorse some or all of the mail sent by
party S (the sender). Possibilities include a signature from C,
multiple signatures from both S and C, a signature from S that
recipients can ask C about, and maybe others. Certifiers frequently
only vouch for certain categories of mail, e.g., transactional mail
but not mailing list mail. I don't think there is any way to check
mechanically what category or categories a message belongs in, but
it should at least be possible for C to say what categories it's
vouching for, and for the messages to say what categories they belong
to, so one can tell if the sender is cheating.
It's also an open question what catgories are useful, which in turn
depends on who the categories are intended for: original senders,
sending or receiving MTA managers, final recipients, and any
combination thereof. If there's interest, I can flesh out the notes a
little thand send them around.
Any other topics people would like to address? Anyone planning to come?
R's,
John
