Yesterday, I had the pleasure to present the DNS issues of SPF to
the IETF DNS Extensions Working Group (also known as
"namedroppers"). The main question was the allocation of new DNS
Resource Record (RR) type, per draft-lentczner-spf-00, 3.1.1.
...
These two questions did not seem to be a stopper for most
people. The WG should formally review the DNS part of the draft now
if the "SPF community" ask it to do so.
Now, we should decide. Before I request a formal review to the IETF
DNS Extensions Working Group, there is something to
clarify. Unfortunately, we have currently two drafts:
draft-lentczner-spf-00
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lentczner-spf-00) and
draft-schlitt-spf-00
(http://www.midwestcs.com/spf/spf_classic_libspf2/draft-schlitt-spf-00.txt,
NOT submitted to the IETF).
There seem to be a consensus here that draft-lentczner-spf-00 does not
represent the current state of SPF Classic and that
draft-schlitt-spf-00 is better. But Wayne Schlitt repeated several
times that he will not submit his draft to the IETF, and I cannot ask
an IETF Working Group to consider a document that has not been
submitted.
So, I have several choices:
1) Ask the IETF Working Group to review draft-lentczner-spf-00 and the
hell with its weaknesses.
2) Submit draft-schlitt-spf-00 to the IETF myself.
Advices?
Wait till the new council is formed.
Slainte,
JohnP.
