So you'll be okay with all those people speaking up for their
organizations, stating that their organizations won't be implementing
it?
Fair enough. The SETI Institute won't be implementing Sender-ID.
I have a question. I was given to believe that generally in the the
call for support/rejection, the question is, and only is, "should we
recommend this?", and nothing else. BUT, given the uniqueness of the
situation, and that there *are* alternatives, would it be useful (or
forbidden?) for people to say not only "We won't deploy Sender-I.D."
but also "we *will* deploy SPF" or "we also won't deploy SPF" or "we
will deploy this other alternative"?
I ask because there is great pressure, both external and internal, to
implement something - *anything* it seems. And a fair bit of "if you
toss Sender I.D. because of unclear IP concerns, there will be nothing,
and the devil you know is better than no devil at all" (to mix
metaphors). So I wonder whether this would be useful data.
