Hi Doug,

I thought that the advancement of the specifications from Proposed to 
Draft would not be too much of an effort as there are existing 
implementations of RFC 4871.  But then, this is the DKIM WG.

I don't see any issue between the Security Area and the Applications 
Area.  I don't recall DKIM being discussed in the EAI WG.  I read 
draft-ietf-dkim-rfc4871bis during the last WGLC in October 2010 and 
commented on the draft ( 
http://mipassoc.org/pipermail/ietf-dkim/2010q4/014696.html ).

IDNA and EAI are not the same.  You are going to break stuff if you 
want to DKIM support for RFC5336bis.  It's up to the DKIM WG to see 
whether it wants to do that or not.

What's unfair is expecting someone else, whether in this working 
group or another working group, to doing the work.  As a matter of 
personal opinion, I see that Murray has been doing a lot of the 
work.  I might not agree with some of the changes he suggested but I 
do not expect him to perform miracles.
