Dear DANE Working Group,

This starts a 4-week (because of time of year) consensus call on adopting  draft-fanf-dane-smtp-04 as a DANE WG document. 

----- DRAFT INFO ----
Title           : Secure SMTP with TLS, DNSSEC and TLSA records.
Author(s)       : Tony Finch
Filename        : draft-fanf-dane-smtp-04.txt

Abstract:
   SMTP has a STARTTLS extension, but (especially in the case of inter-
   domain mail transfer) it only provides very limited security because
   it does not specify how to authenticate the server's certificate.
   This memo specifies how TLSA records in the DNS can be used for
   proper SMTP server authentication.

Please read the document and state your opinions either for or against adoption (with reasoning why!) on the mailing list.

We note that this document has already received a bunch of discussion onlist and in WG sessions.

The call for adoption ends 20th January 2013.

Thanks,
     Ondrej and Warren.
