Oh, I forgot one thing:

document existing mail streams that do not conform to the DMARC
model.

I'm not sure what this means. Can someone explain?

I still don't understand. Can we just strike this text?

I'll bet a pretty good lunch that it's the way of saying, "Rewriting
[email protected] to [email protected] is not
allowed."  That's something that people have started doing for mailing
lists.  But I can't say for sure that's what it means.

Oh. If so, perhaps we could come up with a slightly less obscure way of saying it?

Well, nobody has stepped up to the plate to help, so I'm going to go with the following:

"As the working group develops solutions to deal with indirect mail flows, it will seek to maintain the end-to-end nature of existing identifier fields in mail, in particular avoiding solutions that require rewriting of originator fields."

If you've got concerns with that, we'll take them up as "comments to the IESG on the proposed charter."
