One of the goals that I have for Thunderbird is to be more
engaged with open and public internet standards. That would
include not only email protocols such as IMAP, but also related
standards such as the domain name system that ICANN represents.
It we are going to take seriously the role of being a promoter
of open standards, then we need to be engaged with the
communities that develop those standards. ICANN is one of those.<br>

This caught my eye a bit and I was wondering if there's a list of
bodies we *are* involved in. Off the top of my head:<br>
<br>
* I think Joshua has offered opinions on a variety of mailing
lists.<br>
* There was work with Google by Kent/Joshua about the OAuth
implementation.<br>

I actually haven't participated (or even subscribed to any!) in any
of the IETF mailing lists to useful detail, although I do read the
archives from time to time. Most of the active working groups are on
topics that I'm not particularly qualified to comment on (IMAP,
DMARC, DANE, e.g.), although I do follow them from time to time to
keep abreast of changes.<br>
<br>
Come to think of it, I did sign up for a W3C interest group on
HTML-in-email, but that group has been moribund for a year (and it
doesn't bode well that some of the members expressed surprise at
basic terminology like "MUA").<br>
