Hi,

I would like to suggest the following:
1. Take all of the technical aspects of the protocol into a single 
combined document of the ASRG. Alan will be the editor, with everyone 
else as authors. Don't forget to mention Paul Vixie's draft.
2. Provide a separate document addressing issues with RMX-type 
proposals, including all of the issues raised on the main list. Such 
separation would be very conducive.
3. Rename the protocols as something else. My suggestion is "Lightweight 
Email Authentication Protocol" which comes to a nice acronym of LEAP.

I think that at this point a combined and renamed proposal edited by a 
non-author would address most of competive issues in the group. 
Additionally, many of the technical issues have been already resolved - 
it is the other issues such as scalability, forwarders, etc. that need 
to be addressed. That is why I am suggestion two documents - one for the 
protocol itself and another for issues with the protocol.

The second document should preferably follow the seventeen points in the 
technical considerations document and the issues in the requirements 
document.

Yakov
