I *very* much agree with this.  One of the things that concerns me
about the proposed charter is it appears to be aimed at creating a
standard rather than selecting a proposal based on merits.

Why does this concern you?

I think John Levine and William *Leibzon* expressed my concerns fairly
well in the following posts (hence my silence on the subject):

I'm not saying that a working group should never try to develop a
standard from scratch, but I do have concerns that doing so in the
area of email anti-spam/forgery is likely to lead to problems.
