The first two work items will generate their share of 
controversies.  I suggest removing the "scope" document from the list 
of work items to restrict the scope of the controversies at the 
initial stage.  Once the proposed working group has produced the 
deliverables that can bring closure to the SPF/Sender-ID debates, it 
can determine whether there are still any surviving WG participants 
to pursue work on extensions to 4408bis.

That should be:

   draft-kitterman-4408bis-00
   draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope-00
