draft-desruisseaux-ischedule-01 is dated March 8, 2010. It intends to update RFC 4871, if approved. That draft has never been mentioned in the DKIM WG until today. Is that draft being targeted as a work item for this working group? The latest working group charter is dated June 1010 and the first priority listed is to "Advance the base DKIM protocol to Draft Standard". There has been long discussions to get there. Will the WG have to recharter now? Regards, -sm _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
