Given that it is taking somewhere around 6 months to get chartered and given the reasons for its taking that long, I'm going to predict that the core document will like reach RFC status in 2 years. That is about 3 times longer than the charter calls for.

Most folks will disagree with that estimate.

They need to respect history more.

To follow the sausage-making analogy, DKIM has barely gotten past the stage of deciding whether or not to kill the animal first. Now, I think, the argument is about whether to grind the meat.

Steve, it may be worth mentioning to your external consumpters that DomainKeys is useful NOW. DKIM won't be deployed widely enough to be useful to senders until about a year after the IETF finishes with it.

And if DKIM isn't an easy replacement for DK, it may never be deployed widely at all.

Yay standards!  Can somebody pass the mustard?
