Now, there are pros and cons to moving under the IETF umbrella. We
should consider them carefully, because we still can submit the SPF
draft independently to the RFC Editor, bypassing the working-group
process. I like to think of myself as a respecter of procedure, and
because of this I have readily submitted SPF to the ASRG unification
process; but even though SPF has been chosen as the basis for the
combined ASRG draft, there are good reasons we may still want to make an
independent submission. The chiefest reason is that WG process takes
time, and we have already, on our own, climbed far up the curve. If the
matter at hand were different, this might not be worth much, but every
day spam costs us all hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, and I feel
a great sense of urgency. The IETF may not be able to give its blessing
in a reasonable amount of time. The next meeting after Minneapolis will
be in Seoul, in March.
I don't feel quite as much urgency. I think it's worth moving a bit more
slowly if that increases the odds of widespread adoption, and I think
going through ASRG might do that. So consider me in favor, though not
strongly attached to the idea.
I've been in IETF WGs before, by the way -- notably on RFC2822.
