The problem statement document is already quite comprehensive: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gondwana-dkim2-motivation/
The broad shape has had months of thought and design already by engineers from some of the largest email handlers on the planet - but it needs broader input and polishing, which the wider IETF can give. The IETF also provides an intellectual property framework, and protects people involved from anti-trust issues. There's interest in this from other large email providers, and they already have experience with getting permission to work on IETF projects, so having the work here allows them to contribute. Does it need a working group yet? Maybe just a mailing list and a bunch of individual drafts would do the same thing, but it would just be an unstructured working group by another name. I'd prefer to have the structure. There's definitely appetite to do this work soon. So I think yes - now is the right time to start a working group. Whether we re-use the ietf-dkim list and the "dkim" wg name, I don't really care. It seems convenient to just re-use this place, but I'd be open to other locations and names too.
