[ietf-dkim] DKIM BOF Chair Appointments

[Stephen Farrell]

Hi All,

Barry and I spoke yesterday and we hope to have another cut at
a draft charter for you to bash at in the next day or two. I'd
hope that we can make speedy progress towards list-consensus based
on that.

Having read the documents over the last few days I'd also like
to re-iterate Russ' comment that Dave and Jim (and all the
contributers) have done a very good job thus far.

Our goal is to extend that good work and have a BoF that succeeds
in gaining the required community-consensus in Vancouver.

Regards,
Stephen.
