DKIM Deployment

["RL 'Bob' Morgan" <>]

Hi.  This is an intro message for everyone who has expressed interest in 
participating in the DKIM Deployment activity that Lucy Lynch and I have 
been organizing.  Everyone should be aware that there is a wiki site for 
it:

 https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/ddx/DKIM+Deployment

If you don't want to be on the list, let me know, or use the mailing list 
link on the wiki page to unsubscribe.

If you want read-write access to the site (which we encourage everyone to 
have), follow the instructions at:

http://middleware.internet2.edu/docs/internet2-spaces-instructions-200703.html

to get a wiki account (and a ProtectNetwork account if you need one) and 
get added to the access group for this site.

We are having an initial meeting this coming Sunday, November 16, at the 
IETF meeting at the Hilton Minneapolis, 1:30 - 5:30.  There is a draft 
agenda on the wiki, and also a logistics and general Minneapoliana page.

Please note that all attendees are encouraged to stay for the regular IETF 
meeting if they wish.  If you want to do this please register for the 
meeting via http://www.ietf.org/meetings/73/, by 5PM US Pacific time 
November 14, but *do not pay*.  Let Lucy Lynch, <> know and 
ISoc will cover the registration cost.

Just in case it isn't clear, this is very much an Experimental activity. 
Our starting points are the vision of improving the trustworthiness of the 
Internet, the promise of DKIM technology, and the value of the higher-ed 
community.  But we are assembling this busy, knowledgeable and well-placed 
set of folks so we can tap our collected expertise and capabilities to 
move the larger Internet in the right direction, whatever that may be.  So 
please question the assumptions and suggest alternatives.  Our main goal 
is to put together a program that can make a positive difference.  Though 
of course, like all other anti-spam-related activities, the goal is not 
"eliminating spam" ... 8^)

Quite few interested participants are not able to attend the initial 
meeting.  We encourage discussion via email, starting now.  You can also 
contribute via the wiki.  We will probably set up regular conference calls 
after the initial meeting.

Thanks,

 - RL "Bob"
