Where is this exchange going and how does it help the working group get chartered?

When used to protect the email message transport system, DKIM can be very beneficial at thwarting address hijacking when combined with DoS protection, and at locating and isolating abusive sources, and providing opportunistic identification, all without the application of a highly disruptive SSP email-address authorization scheme. In my view, the charter should reflect what is being protected. Is it the transport or an email-address? To protect the email-address, then a model like OpenPGP or S/MIME should be used.
