Re: [ietf-dkim] In the spirit of moving forward...

At this point, I personally see little value in "moving forward" with 
the MLM draft until the ADSP issues and 3rd party signer consideration 
are resolved. I think once we resolve the POLICY issue as it relates 
to list servers or any allowed 3rd party signer and consensus can be 
reached, then I believe the MLM guidelines can be better specified.  I 
hope documents authors can step up and help resolve this long time 
known issue once and for all.

I personally do not believe it is a major issue and can be resolved 
simply by codifying the documents by relaxing the 5322.From bind and 
allowed for 3rd party signature policy declarations.  (Note, just in 
case, I am not referring to the problematic authorized signers 
considerations.)

There was very little response to my last straw poll about where we go with 
the MLM draft next.  It certainly wasn't enough to be able to claim "rough 
consensus" from a group this size.

I have some feedback on the actual text from Jeff, Daniel and Dave to 
incorporate, and I haven't forgotten that.  But there remains the issue of 
whether or not to split it into two or three documents covering specific 
topics (a non-DKIM MLM BCP, a DKIM-specific MLM BCP, and a DKIM value-add for 
MLMs informational), and whether or not to just drop the whole affair because 
there's not enough we can really say anyway.

Given my druthers I'd like to proceed with it the way it is since absent 
rough consensus to change course, the right thing to do seems to be to press 
on.  (After thinking about that a bit, I have to admit that it's also the 
most attractive to me since it's the least amount of work...)

Is anybody going to be really upset if I go that route and then work toward a 
WGLC later this year?
