I think our little mailing list is a pretty fair approximation to a
working group, at least what working groups are meant to be.
Of course we've sort of hived off our own problem space; we're not an
anti-spam WG by any means, nor an anti-forgery WG; we're just a bunch of
guys interested in the problem of envelope forgery detection based on
DNS methods.
On the IP side of things I think a patent would be a good idea if only
to prevent somebody else from submarining us. If the big ISPs could
pony up a few grand each we could patent it and then license it
royalty-free or however things get put into the public domain.
Another avenue to pursue would be a PayPal type of fund. You could
offer something like "contribute $50 to the funding of the patent and be
named in the patent". You'd only need 200 contributors, then.
