If your goal is gaining consensus on a useful specification in the

Actually, the DKIM base spec does provide a mechanism for replacing the

Sometimes feed-forward _is_ useful, and I would agree that the use of DNS to

If there were an I-D describing such a protocol, I'd be interested in
reading it - is there one?
Not yet. But it hardly seems like the time to write an I-D when there
is at present considerable effort being invested to preclude such an I-D
being considered by the group.

Related to how much the charter pre-supposes the solution, the sentence
that "Public keys needed to validate the signatures will be stored
in the responsible identity's DNS hierarchy." seems like a pretty heavy
