The DKIM working group met on Thursday, 20 November 2008, with 39
attendees.

Document status: there are three documents left to finish.  Two -- ADSP
and "Overview" -- are with the IESG, and the third -- "Deployment" -- is
much of the way toward finishing.  We had a review of the new document
structure of Deployment, which highlighted some questions about which
the authors are looking for input (ideas, preferably with suggested
text).  We reviewed three unresolved issues with errata for RFC 4871
(DKIM base spec).  And then we looked toward the future...

We had three brief presentations of topics that the working group might
adopt with a re-charter.  It seems unlikely that the group will actually
take any of them on, and that they'll proceed, if at all, as individual
submissions.  But discussion is open on the mailing list.

We spent a good bit of time at the end of the meeting discussion the
idea of developing standards for domain reputation services -- something
that DKIM enables for email, but which is not limited to DKIM nor email.
The consensus is that there is not enough interest nor clarity within
the (small) community of reputation-service providers to support a
standards effort now (or soon).

It is likely that DKIM will not meet in San Francisco, and might
actually be ready to close by then.
