Re: [ietf-dkim] How about that DKIM charter update proposal

2009-10-18 Thread John Levine
I concur with the plan to advance DKIM to draft standard. It's not clear to me as a matter of IETF politics whether we can advance 4871+5672 as a unit to draft standard, or if it's mandatory to make another pass and turn them into one document. I'd rather avoid that pass if at all possible since
