[ietf-dkim] gathering data

[Franck Martin]

I'm cool to do work, but I'm not sure which one.... beside I don't think I have access to any data that would be usable.

I just had the feeling, seeing all the presentations, blogs ,etc... about DKIM that we have forgotten why it was created on the first instance, and I just wanted to put it back there where it belongs.

Like now each RFC must have a security consideration chapter, should email(and other messaging) related RFCs have a spam consideration chapter?

So as for the workgroup charter, it seemed all for refining the DKIM specs, forgetting the original goal, but then I also realize the goal of reducing spam was skilfully removed from the original charter (yeah, I should read the past charters first ;) )

A fine question, but the thread Barry started is discussing the proposed
WG charter modification, so for now, I'm just trying to understand if
you're proposing something for that, (and if so, if you're volunteering
to do work:-)

If your question is unrelated to the charter discussion, that's fine
too.
