Hi all,
This got approved by the IESG. Note that it is slightly different than the
last time it was discussed here, courtesy of some suggested changes during IESG
evaluation.
OpenDKIM has already implemented the revised version and is thus available for
interop testing if anyone wants to try this out.

Subject: Document Action: 'DKIM Authorized Third-Party Signers' to Experimental
RFC (draft-kucherawy-dkim-atps-16.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'DKIM Authorized Third-Party Signers'
(draft-kucherawy-dkim-atps-16.txt) as an Experimental RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF
Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Sean Turner.

Technical Summary
DKIM deliberately makes no binding between the DNS domain of the signer of a
message and any other identity found in the message. Despite this, there is
an
automatic human perception that an author domain signature (one for which the
RFC5322.From domain matches the DNS domain of the signer) is more valuable or
trustworthy than any other. There is currently no protocol by which an ADMD
can
announce that DKIM signatures on its mail added by other ADMDs should also be
considered trustworthy by verifiers. This presents an experimental mechanism
for doing so.
Working Group Summary
This is an individual submission, but was discussed with the former DKIM
participants, on the DKIM mailing list. Note that there is NOT general
agreement that this protocol is important, or even useful. There is good
consensus that experimentation is needed to determine utility, and this
document
sets up that experiment by proposing a protocol for it.
Document Quality
ATPS has been prototyped, in preparation for this experiment, and is available
in an open-source implementation. Other implementations are expected as
the experiment proceeds.
Personnel
Barry Leiba is the Document Shepherd.
Sean Turner is the responsible Area Director.
IANA Note
The new registry should be nested under DKIM Parameters.
