Re: [lamps] Proposed addition of header protection to the LAMPS charter

[Bernie Hoeneisen <[e-mail]>]

Hi Daniel

I am confused about the origin of the "proposed charter text" you are 
refering to and suggesting to amend:

> +7. Specify a mechanism for the cryptographic protection of e-mail
> +headers.  Most current implementations protect only the body of the
> +message, which leaves significant room for attacks against
> +otherwise-protected messages.  Cryptographic protection (both for

> +usability gaps in cryptographically-protected electronic mail.

Who drafted this charter text proposal and where has this been published 
before? I have been unable to find any traces on this mailing list. Does 
this origine from an IETF external source? Or is there some (hidden?) 
venue I am not aware of?

Thanks in advance for enlightening me on this process question.

Best,
  Bernie
