Absolutely. And the question that I raized was rather different. The question is whether we should publish a version of the overview with references to policy taken out.
I do not accept that we have to wait till completion of the policy specification to publish a version of overview. It is sufficient to have last call on the policy requirements. The overview document does not go into the details of how policy works, requirements are sufficient. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Crocker > Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 11:11 AM > To: Eliot Lear > Cc: Untitled; Powers, Jot > Subject: Re: [ietf-dkim] Re: I-D > ACTION:draft-ietf-dkim-overview-04.txt > > > > Eliot Lear wrote: > > Jot, > > > > The overview isn't keeping DKIM from the world.
