On that note, I would like to announce that the SPF draft has added an
accreditation modifier.  It should be sufficient for linking to
accreditation services.  The deliverability industry has responded well
to this proposed addition.  Comments and criticism welcome.
I'm disappointed that the following remains un-addressed in the new spf-draft-200404.
What's up with that?

(I've emailed you privately, repeatedly, and even called your co-author about this; no response.)

draft-mengwong-spf-01.txt needs appropriate boilerplate, specifically

"This document is an Internet-Draft and is subject to all provisions
of Section 10 of RFC2026."

and NOT the boilerplate it currently has:

"This document is an Internet-Draft and is subject to all provisions
of Section 10 of RFC2026 _except that the right to produce derivative_
_works is not granted._"!

It is quite plainly Standards Track, not an experimental RFC hopeful.

I've tried repeatedly to resolve this privately, but not made any headway.

Apologies for the lack of technical content to this post, but it's not OT-

it's relevant because it'll impact feasibility of reliance on SPF by MARID.
Technical post to follow... why I'm now liking Crocker's proposal++.

Hello?
I haven't heard back; re-sending before I conclude I'm being ignored and
contact someone else.

Could you please contact the author on this regards.

I already did attempt this - note the
"I received no reply to this: "
and
"I have attempted to resolve these issues directly, unsuccessfully."
in my previous email.  That's why I'm contacting you.

1)The memo seems not to be in compliance with RFC2026! The boilerplate

 "This document is an Internet-Draft and is subject to all provisions
 of Section 10 of RFC2026 _except that the right to produce derivative_
 _works is not granted._"

Is not acceptable because the draft IS largely a derivative of other people's IETF I-Ds published with the regular boilerplate, and this boilerplate is only acceptable for a draft that is a republishing of NON-IETF work AND is NOT intended for Standards Track publication, according to <http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt>. The spf website makes it fairly clear that the draft IS intended for Standards Track publication. 2)I was not credited for some small contributions I made that were incorporated. (BFD; I care more about 1)), but my interpretation of the rules is that at a minimum, contributions that makes it into the spec should be acknowledged.

I have attempted to resolve these issues directly with the authors, but they have been unresponsive. I would try calling, but they provide no phone #s in the draft. I found a phone number for Mark - (650) 964-xxx and called him; and discussed these two issues. He said he didn't know how Meng would be handling them, but that he was the one dealing with them, not him.
