What a load of self-serving and self-promoting cr** !

However one particular part of their text I do want to share with this 
group (actually I want to share more then that, but I could not find
way to just copy the text from letter into an editor and I dont want
to retype too much).

So for those of you who want to know what Microsoft thought of 
closing of MARID WG and what they are doing about it:
 
"The IETF working group on Sender ID has not reached consensus on the
 proposal and has suspended its worK for now - decision which is being
 appealed - but the disclosure of intellcctual property rights to 
 IETF and its publication of Sender ID Framework specifications
 endures and thereby satisfies the conditions for an open standard"

The most interesting part? The submission was signed by
Michael Hintze, Senior Corporate Attorney, Microsoft Corporation.

When you have finished reading that document, if folks don't understand 
the need to get on with the show, both technically, commercially and 
public relations wise, then

So closure of MARID was not the end, the real show is just starting ...
