I am for #2 personally speaking. The errata discussion has become way too complex and it would be extremely confusing for operational users of dkim to have to switch back and forth between rfc and errata. This, as long as 4871bis is a "short" step before draft standard - and the draft standard do

On the contrary, moving DKIM **forward in the standards process** sends exactly the proper message: that DKIM *is* stable enough for us to advance its standards level. Remember, advancing along the standards track has serious constraints on the types of changes permitted to the spec. It is *not* a

I frankly don't see the point of a -bis document, and so long as the errata shows up reasonably close to the top in a google search, I think that the dev front should be fine. Invoking another round of IETF process at this point sends exactly the wrong message: that DKIM is not stable. DKIM has bee

Pasi, Stephen, and I had a conference call to sort out where we can go with the errata, the idea of a 4871-bis, and so on. This summarizes what we think, where we'd like the working group to go, and what the working group needs to decide. The first point is that while 2/3 of the working group
