I'd like to clarify the role of a new 'users' list from the DKIM lists 
that already exist.  The existing ones are:

   Standardization

I'm guessing that's ietf-dkim.  

yes.  (sorry I didn't provide the pointers.)


   Development

   Testing

I assume this is dkim-dev and dkim-testers.  

yes.


  I think these two overlap 
enough that they should be merged.  It's for people who are developing, or 
have developed, DKIM applications so that they can benefit from the 
experience of others and arrange for interoperability testing.

These are independently managed lists.  Merging is possible, of course, but we 
should get some pretty strong consensus to do that, I think.


   Operations

Not sure which this one is (dkim-ops?).  

yes.


  I'd say this is the general list 
for questions about deployment and operations.  This is where I believe 
questions about reputation and multiple signatures should be discussed, 
except where those coversations relate directly to standardization or 
development/testing.

Ewww. "reputation"?  No, I hope not.  For the moment, we are only talking about 
the mechanics of creating and interpreting DKIM signatures.

I would *very* strongly hope that discussion about the use of domain names for 
making quality assessments (reputation) would be on an entirely different list. 
  (And, yes, we might need to create one.)

Anyhow, is the ops list where the water-cooler self-help consulting should take 
place?


Are there other potential discussions that wouldn't be covered by these 
which warrant having their own venues?

That's my question, yes.
