Cool! I think we have made a significant step forward in becoming
more organized. IMHO, having over 150 people vote is very
significant, seeming as there are only around 150 unique posters in
the last 2 months, and many are just people wandering in to ask a
question and such.
As I see it, the council is here to resolve issues and be able to
quickly give definitive voice to all of us. All the real work still
has to be done outside the council, so for the most part things really
haven't changed. Work will get done by people who actually do the
work, whether they have the blessing of the council or not. All the
council does is save us from a week of debate on the list, followed by
days of running an ad-hoc poll.
In order to take the next steps to become more organized, I see doing
following things:
1) Set up a publicly readable mailing list, which only the council
members can post to. Maybe we should set up an SPF-politics
mailing list to get all the meta discussions about SPF off of
SPF-discuss, but I don't think that needs to be done right now.
2) Set up some rules for conducting business. As I have said in the
past, I think the IETF WG rules are probably good enough, but if
enough people (council members or otherwise) want to hash out more
formal rules, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
3) Get an official ruling on whether the "SPF Communtity Position on
SenderID"[1] represents us or not. (4 of the council members
signed it, so I suspect the answer is "yes".)
4) Decide what we want to do about the SPF I-D.
5) Decide what we want to do about an "official" website. This is
clearly an area where we can use lots of people doing different
parts.
I think that's a long enough TODO list for the first week, considering
the Meng is off in San Francisco right now, and Julian won't be back
until Thursday.
