Did you read the BATV proposal by Dave Crocker?

Which has zero buy in from any party with any deployment influence.
Nope, I don't mean that proposal.

At the limit, BATV doesn't even need support from majors. It works with the existing email system. People who implement it will immediately benefit. No need for a "flag day" or a "critical mass".

My preference would be to have the finances managed on the IETF
model and the process managed on the OASIS model, roberts rules
of order work pretty well.

I agree that the way the MARID directorates managed the group is in part responsible for the failure. On the other hand, I think that the Sender-ID proposal has been critically wounded by the Microsoft patent application, and the IETF cannot do much about it.

I remember reading that the vast majority of patents are granted. I'm wondering if there are any legal ways of opposing to a patent before it is accepted. Even if another group would ratify Sender-ID as a standard, I don't see any way that it will reach critical mass with its current IPR issues.
