Colleagues, The Chairs have discussed the open CFAs, and we believe we’ve reached a point at which we can make some decisions about the adoption of documents.
We observe the following important notions: * A Call For Adoption is open for all three of the proposed documents. Discussion, however, has focused on the “motivation” document with relatively little on the “header” and “modification algebra” documents. * A document doesn’t have to be in, or near, its anticipated final form prior to adoption. Iteration is expected. * Adoption of a document does not endorse what it currently says, nor does it cancel any feedback received about it previously. Any such feedback still needs to be addressed by the WG before it can proceed. * There has been no claim laid down that any of these documents violate the WG charter. * Lists are the primary venue for WG decisions, but we note that there was clear consensus at the meeting in Bangkok to adopt all three documents as reasonable starting points for the chartered work. * Change control passes formally to the WG only after adoption. Until that happens, work on the document is outside of the WG process. Accordingly, the Chairs conclude that the “motivation” document has developed enough support to warrant adoption and development within the WG context. The WG shall continue to discuss and iterate on aspects of this document, resolving feedback received to date and any in the future. The other two documents will be returned to “Candidate for WG Adoption” state, where they will remain until the WG has significantly converged on the adopted document such that progress on those is within reach. We suggest that those two be considered “parked”, and avoid discussion of them, until the “motivation” draft feels like it’s well on its way. -MSK, DKIM WG co-chair
