Whats missing is possible a survey on why there is a market of
potential implementators who are on the fence, have not gave the "go
ahead" or are just plain leary about the whole thing, even among those
who have been involved since early on.
I like that idea. Dave, can you incorporate this into one of the
surveys, or should we have a third survey for this that we could pass
around (and take to MAAWG)?
Market research, such as understanding the reasons for consumer choices, can
indeed be helpful. However attempting to study the reasons that potential
"consumers" of DKIM do or not deploy it requires fundamentally different
methodology, and produces fundamentally different information, than the
implementation report.
Simply put, one looks for a few kinds of 'what' and the other looks for a few
kinds of 'why'. One obtains objective data. The other subjective.
In addition in this particular case, they the target subjects are in explicitly
non-overlapping populations. One has deployed DKIM. The other has not.
