I apologise for speaking out of place. I am new here and my only point of reference is the IETF guide outlining the progression of standards, which I would describe as minimal.

I am participating because I care greatly about the integrity of the e-mail system and read a proposal which I found highly concerning. While it has been watered down to some extent, it's still represents a fundamental shift of DKIM away from its original stated purpose and use cases. I am certainly not alone in holding or expressing that view.

The particular issue I raised would have been in response to MSKs e-mail where he talked of the eventual winding down of DKIM before suggesting we proceed with a Call For Adoption. Given the a formal notice arrived soon thereafter and asked for "comments to motivate your preference", I chose to reply to that instead of addressing the lack of any migration path for specific use cases in the earlier discussion.

Notwithstanding the above, the behaviour of the proposed rt= implementation is outlined in the motivation document and by reference is inherent to this proposal. It risks being taken for granted and I therefore consider it appropriate to raise my concerns at this juncture.

Regards,
R. Latimer

see what you wrote as a reason that draft-gondwana-dkim2-header-02 is
not a good *starting point* for working group discussion (during which
discussion you would make the arguments you put here).

Or perhaps I'm not understanding?
