Technical Summary

   This draft introduces a header that passes sender validation
   information in a message to the recipient.  It can be used
   with several validation approaches including DKIM.

Working Group Summary

   This is an individual document, although discussion has taken
   place on mail-vet-discuss@mipassoc.org.  There is opposition to the
   proposal from Doug Otis.  He seems to have an unusual and 
   hard-to-understand model of how email validation should work,
   so I believe there is rough consensus anyway. 

Document Quality

   This header is already implemented.  I asked Barry Leiba 
   and Jim Fenton to review the proposal when asked to publish
   it.

Personnel

   Lisa Dusseault reviewed this for the IESG.
