Unfortunately, I will NOT be in Paris, or I'd take you up on the beers.

Meanwhile, it occurs to me to point out that the evolution of mail 
standards & software; and the people, technology, and business 
conditions that drive them; and the impacts thereof; all seem to be part 
and parcel of "Internet History."

In fact, the impact of DMARC on IETF email lists, and on IETF 
communications, and the (slow) response of the community in responding, 
might make a particularly interesting case study.  As might the more 
general impact and response of the community to DMARC.

Rather than "not-internet not-history" - this thread might well be 
considered a first draft of Internet History. :-)

Cheers,

Miles
