Hi everybody,

I know that some of the spf-discuss regulars have been participating in 
the 
policy discussion on the ietf-dkim mailing list.  Unfortunately that 
debate has brought up >500 messages in the past 10 days and as a result, I 
(and probably many others) haven't had the time to follow the debate.

Could someone who has been following all or most of it please summarize 
the 
ietf-dkim policy discussion here?  What are the main points of contention, 
the main points of agreement, and what is the current status and direction 
of the discussion?

I'd be very, very grateful for such a semi-detailed summary!

From the begining, there has been a segment that was against the very idea 
of any kind of policy protocol.

What's going on now is a debate over policy requirements.  I expect that 
the requirements document that is about to be published is going to have a 
scope similar to the pre-working group SSP draft, but with the likely 
addition of the ability for a domain to publish a list of authorized 
signers.

Until the requirements document is published, it's all just debate.  Anyone 
who wants to join in at this poit should probably wait until the 
requirements draft is published and start from there.  It's expected 
shortly.
