Alan and Rolf (and others) -
I'm happy to participate anywhere there's a reasonable gathering of
folks working together to understand, deploy, and improve email
authentication technologies (including DMARC, SPF, and DKIM). There's
already a ton going on at M3AAWG, OTA, and BITS, but they all have
entrance criteria (and may not necessarily be your personal cup of
tea). And while it's a more technical venue, a lot takes place at the
IETF which is free to participate, but that might not hit your sweet spot.
Do you have any suggestions of other places to convene a meaningful
conversation that more effectively fits your needs? And do you have
suggestions about the type of discussion you'd like to have? Are you
interested in deployment advice, looking for best current/common
practice documents, or perhaps interested in helping to author guidance
documents, or even feeding your experience back into the process to
improve the technical specification?
Depending on what type of conversation you hope to have, perhaps it's
already taking place somewhere and folks on this list can help point you
in the right direction. Otherwise, maybe it'd be worth exploring
spinning up a discussion here around the interested topics (since
there's no fee to participate here ... and it's packed with the most
experienced professionals in the space you'd be likely to find).
Any thoughts?
I had no specific venue in mind for this discussion/conversation, just
that it is important to give _everyone_ a chance to participate in these
discussions, and not move these discussions behind (for some) 'closed'
[1] doors. This, in order to get broad support for standarization of
DMARC and to prevent interoperability problems. Having said that, I'd
like to encourage the participants in the DMARC initiative to not wait,
but start preparations for an IETF dmarc working group and to take it
from there to a real Full Standard. The scope of the WG could be made
such, that BCP's, deployment advises etc. can be part of the list of
deliverables.

[1] With closed I mean the same as what you mean with 'they all have
entrance criteria'. It is not my intention to call these organizations
really closed.
