Please note that more and more governments create lists of
standards, which must be used by these government's agencies and
organizations, when building new IT solutions, purchasing new
software etc. [1]. Quite a number of these standards are IETF
standards. See [2], [3] and [4]. With that in mind, the IETF
standards become more and more 'mandatory' (to not use the word "de
jure") to use for many organizations worldwide. I have been involved
in submitting DKIM for the Dutch list 'Comply or Explain' and I can
assure you that it definitely makes a difference when a standard is
an IETF standard or not. This is due to the criteria that are used
(open standardization process, decisions by consensus, publicly
available etc.).
Agreed.
The regulatory framework works differently in some jurisdictions. It
is easier to get a specification adopted when it is an IETF standard.
