Similarly, I don't think we're at a point where any discussion of standardizing domain reputation systems -- any more than we're at a point of standardizing IP reputation systems. There's a lot more experimentation that needs to happen (and is happening) before anything could be considered standard enough for an IETF document. I'd expect to see (and may offer) competing "considerations for..." drafts before there's anything close to a BCP. So, where does that leave the DKIM WG? I think it leaves us exactly where we were before: reputation assessment is, and should be, out of scope. -- J.D.
