Hi Rifaat--

If possible, i'd like to raise draft-dkg-lamps-expect-signed-mail at
secdispatch at IETF 118 in Prague:

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-lamps-expect-signed-mail/

Readers following other mailing list discussions may recognize this as a
(very rough) analogy to HTTP's HSTS: the goal is to have a clear signal
that a recipient of an e-mail message can use to decide whether to
present a warning to the user if the message is not cryptographically
signed with an end-to-end mechanism.  (in HSTS, the browser gets a
signal to know to refuse access to a web site if it does not use HTTPS).

Aron Wussler and i started sketching this out a while ago.  i think it's
worth seeing who else is interested, and getting feedback to make sure
the draft makes the right choices (there are several significant
questions in Appendix B that warrant helpful discussion:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-dkg-lamps-expect-signed-mail-01.html#name-mapping-the-solution-space
)

Russ and Tim will probably hate me, but I expect that a likely dispatch
outcome is to send this document to LAMPS (hence the name i've chosen
for the draft), but of course i'd be fine with dispatch to any other
relevant WG that has capacity and interest.

I can post some slides about it to the datatracker if there's ~10
minutes available in the meeting.
