Re: [dispatch] Draft and Proposed charter for DCRUP

["John R Levine" <[e-mail]>]

Here's a draft.  It needs a lot of work but it at least mentions all the 
things I think DCRUP would do.

Name:		draft-levine-dcrup-dkim-crypto
Revision:	00
Title:		Cryptographic Update to DKIM
Document date:	2017-03-29
Group:		Individual Submission
Pages:		5
URL:            https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-levine-dcrup-dkim-crypto-00.txt
