Meng,

There was an overwhelming oppposition shown on this list to idea
of allowing Microsoft to reuse v=spf1 records for Sender ID checking.
Because there is a number of events upcoming in which you're sceduled
to speak regarding SPF and where SenderID would also be mentioned,
I request that you give SPF community your word that you will not
be supporting reusing v=spf1 records for purposes other then what
is specified in the just published draft.

I wholeheartedly agree and this is an EXCELLENT move.

If you can not do this and will be speaking in support of reusing
v=spf1 records and in support of Sender ID, please let the SPF community 
know about it so we could decide on possibility of another spokesman
for the community to answer interviews and to provide SPF position
on different events in a way that would better represents consensus
or majority view seen on this list.

I'm sure Meng would agree to this.  He has previously stated that he has
nothing to do with Microsoft and even though he got us into this mess I
have to believe that he did it with the best intentions -- after all
he's invested a lot of time in SPF (not to take light from the thousands
of hours spent by others as well) and I'd like to think that he'll think
twice the next time Microsoft bats and eye and pats the bed sheets.

Cheers,

James
