I agree with Bron and want to emphasize that keeping the name "DKIM2" has real strategic value beyond the technical scope. Names drive adoption. "DKIM2" builds on familiarity, making it easier for vendors and operators to recognize the direction we're heading without seeing it as a disruptive overhaul. That’s critical in an ecosystem that moves slowly and cautiously. Momentum is already forming around the name. Dropping it now risks confusion and dilutes outreach. This isn’t about marketing fluff, it's about removing barriers to deployment. We can still revisit naming at the RFC stage if needed, but right now, "DKIM2" is doing important work in getting attention and buy-in. Let's not throw that away. / Tobias Herkula

I believe the chairs can make the call on whether or not rough consensus exists once when enough discussion has been had. Oh boy. People are allowed to make their personal assertions about the discussion. In fact, there are no rules against this, other than assertions that cross over to abuse. And this certainly wasn't that. And while it's both unusual and appreciated to see wg management worried about, and responsive to, the possibility of exceeding what is acceptable, it really is important for wg management to be wery, wery caweful about when to fire a management bullet. Bron's wrong in his assessment -- and, of course, IMO wrong in his reasoning -- but not wrong in being able to assert it. There is profound difference between offering an personal assessment vs. asserting a formal management decision. Feel free to provide documentation to the contrary. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net bluesky: @dcrocker.bsky.social mast: @[email protected]
