Problematic issues with regard to last call

MARID participants,

There have been a few problematic statements during this last call 
period that need to be addressed.
First, some of the issues raised are premised on the issue of scope... 
as in Sender ID does not do X when X is not something Sender ID ever 
intended to do.  That whole argument could be applied to any MARID 
output and even to the MARID charter itself.  While such opinions are 
valid and in most cases factual, they are misplaced at this time.
Second, there have been a few messages soliciting polls and requesting 
adjusted timelines.  We ask that participants refrain from deviating 
the working group from its last call period.  While you may feel 
passionate about a certain issue, please be considerate of the process. 
 The co-chairs are interested in reading thoughtful opinions and not 
just raised hands or parroted thought.  Additionally, timelines have 
been set to accommodate individuals who may not be available at this 
week due to vacation, travel, or numerous other reasonable absences 
from an Internet connection.
Finally, some participants have outright stated that they are 
interested only in the advancement of a competing specification to 
Sender ID while others have not said so much but have taken a similar 
tone.  This is most offensive and counter to the notion of finding a 
consensus-based standard.  Many individuals in this working group have 
worked very hard to find common ground, and this unilateralism is 
unfair to them.  If it is your intent to be unwavering and steadfast in 
your opinion no matter the discourse of the issues, we ask that you 
disengage from this working group.
