If I may give an opinion, I think there needs to be a working
party/group of the IETF devoted to the future of Internet mail.  BIG
topic, I know!  How do we move forward towards greater global mail
connectivity, including some admixture of X.400, without losing any of
the capability and ease of use that we currently enjoy?  I hear mumbles
that "they" are planning to make Internet mail more difficult to use,
so that "we" will be willing to go to X.400.  My teenage children have
words for ideas like that, which I cannot bring myself to use in
polite discourse.
