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:
[I'm adding additional text which I apparently forgot when doing only
one paragraph]
"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 test of whether Sender ID or any other proposed solution is an open
standard is not Whether it has been ratified through an open consensus-
based process, but rather whether the proposal can be widely adopted -
indeed many successfull industry standards are not ratified by a
standard-setting organization."
[Note: This text will be gong to mxcomp list in a moment]
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 ...
