I think that any charter should specifically call out the need for a
problem statement. The problem is far more nuanced than the few lines in
the proposed charter and I think that the charter should be neutral
about whether the problem can be solved because that isn't clear at all.
Doing something to do something is how the ARC abomination came about,
and we don't need to repeat that kind of behavior.
In particular it needs to lay out the problems caused by the specific
use case and how they overlap with legitimate use cases, and how
complete that overlap is. It should also explore if there are ways to
mitigate it with tools other than DKIM. Like for example, why is the
sending domain signing spam in the first place?
That should be the only deliverable from the wg along with an evaluation
of whether the problem is tractable. If it is tractable, the wg should
recharter with a plan of how to implement it.
