This is often referred to as the Mail Submission Agent (MSA). That definition is incorrect. The originator is not identical to the MSA. My secretary (whose address appears in the "Sender:" field of a message authored by me) is at least part of the "originator", but he is by no means part of the MSA. The MSA is a servce, in MAIL-ARCH terms. The originator is an actor role. I suspect in all of the definitions in this section, there is a conflation of these going on, but originator is the one that is most egrigeous. 5.1 However, the practice of applying headers and footers to message bodies is common and not expected to fade regardless of what documents this or any standards body might produce. This sort of change will invalidate the signature on a message where the body hash covers the entire message. Thus, the following sections also discuss and suggest other processing alternatives. I think the document ought to explicitly say something stronger along the lines of, "MLMs that are DKIM-aware ought to stick to header field additions only and not make changes to headers and footers." (Note to IESG: Personally, I wish this document were part of the AS experiment and had even more MUSTs and SHOULDs. I will weep silently in my beer that it is not.) |

However, the document seems to involve issues of end-to-end service provision where the service is improved by adherence to the guidelines. This takes it over the line into a BCP, IMHO. If the impact of the document was entirely limited to within a single domain, I would say that it should be Informational. I did not find the use of RFC 2119 language helpful, and would suggest writing guidelines in English, reserving 2119 language for normative protocol specifications or for emphasis in requirements specs. |

(2) In 2.5 should the 1st "i.e.," really be "e.g.," - that is, are you saying "d=" is the *only* way to identify message streams? If so, then perhaps make that clear. (I just don't recall if there were other good ways. I do recall there being other bad ways:-) (3) 5.4 is a bit unclear to me. I suggest just adding an example. |

12 | Sean Turner | During IETF LC there was some debate as to whether this should be a BCP or an Informational draft (https://www.ietf.org/ibin/c5i?mid=6&rid=49&gid=0&k1=933&k2=56468&tid=1307983014 and https://www.ietf.org/ibin/c5i?mid=6&rid=49&gid=0&k1=933&k2=56466&tid=1307983014).

I decided to proceed with BCP because: a) I do not believe that "BCP" needs to be taken literally. Some have argued that we've published BCPs that were neither Best, Current, nor a Practice. b) There is some BCP in the document (last paragraph Section 1 as noted in the write-up). For me, no matter how small the amount it gets to be a BCP. |

Alternatively, this document might be suitable for Pete's "Applicability Statement" experiment, at the Proposed Standard level. (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Has the Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication? Barry Leiba is the document shepherd. I have reviewed this version, and am satisfied that it's ready. (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? The document has adequate review, and I have no concerns about the level of review. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization or XML? I have no concerns. (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document been filed? If so, please include a reference to the disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on this issue. I have no concerns. There is no IPR involved. (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? There is consensus of the working group, as a whole, behind it. A minority of participants feel that the advice given in the last paragraph of section 1 is all that makes sense, and that the rest of the document isn't needed (see "Working Group Summary" later in this writeup). Those participants are willing to accept this document, nonetheless, seeing no harm in it. (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is entered into the ID Tracker.) No. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See the Internet-Drafts Checklist and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media type and URI type reviews? There are no ID nits, apart from a reference issue (see 1.h). (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the strategy for their completion? Are there normative references that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967]. All references are properly separated and labelled. There is a normative reference to RFC 5598, an informational document. This document defines terms used in discussion of email architecture, and is widely referenced in this manner. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry, does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation? There are no IANA issues with this document, and the IANA Considerations section says that. (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker? There is no formal language in this document. (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up? Recent examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract or introduction. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an administrative mail domain (ADMD) to assume some responsibility for a message. Based on deployment experience with DKIM, this Best Current Practices document provides guidance for the use of DKIM with scenarios that include Mailing List Managers (MLMs). Working Group Summary Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? There is a significant sense that the only "right" thing to advise with regard to mailing list managers is that messages forwarded by the MLM be DKIM-signed, and that verifiers consider the MLM domain's signature in making their assessments. This is captured in the document. Notwithstanding that, there is consensus that further advice, as given in the document, is appropriate and useful. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the request posted? This document does not define a protocol, but specifies practices recommended for using DKIM in scenarios that include Mailing List Managers. The document reflects the best practices at the current time, in the judgment of the DKIM working group. |
