Subject: [ietf-dkim] Splitting the mailing list document?

     c.  Best practices for Mailing List Managers

If the document has indeed wandered off into this more general area (and I'd 
have to re-read it to find the parts you're talking about), we should reel it 
back in.  I don't want to maintain a general treatise on how MLMs should behave 
unless perhaps I manage to enlist some co-authors of major current MLMs to do 
so.

I think the other two are within scope and would probably be fine to include in 
a single document.

The latter two have emerged.  Neither is formally within scope of the
working
group, although b. is a natural addition.  Note, however, that it is
formal
protocol specification work and we need to worry about adoption first -
- who
needs to adopt it and why do we think they will?

Is that really true?  The document is informational and is deliberately 
avoiding being normative about anything.  Its posture is intended to convey 
experience of the industry so far in deploying DKIM and MLMs in tandem, and 
provide some suggestions of how that co-operation could be improved.
