Hi.

I think we need to start collecting and discussing the possible domain
names for the official SPF website.  A while back, Julian collected
this list of SPF websites:


  http://spf.pobox.com
  http://spf.mehnle.net
  http://www.schlitt.net/spf
  http://www.openspf.org
  http://www.spf-help.com
  http://www.spftools.net
  http://www.libspf.org
  http://www.libspf2.org


I also know of the following domain names that people registered:

  mail-spf.{org,com}
  email-spf.{org,com}
  spf-classic.{org,com}


Add -

open-spf.co.uk
open-spf.com
open-spf.net
open-spf.org
openspf.co.uk
openspf.com
openspf.net
sender-policy-framework.co.uk
sender-policy-framework.net
sender-policy-framework.org
sender-policy-framework.org.uk
senderpolicyframework.org.uk
spf-help.co.uk
spf-help.com
spf-help.net
spf-help.org
spf-help.org.uk
spfhelp.co.uk
spfhelp.com
spfhelp.net
spfhelp.org
spfhelp.org.uk



In the same email, Julian layed out these requirements, which I think
are quite reasonable:


Domains
-------

I recommend the following:

Official domains for the project website must be owned and paid for by a
trusted person chosen by the council through majority vote without
explicit dissent.  Monetary donations are of course most welcome and
should be directed at the chosen trustee.

Only two to four official domains seem adequate, consisting of no more
than two second-level-domain variants and two top-level-domain variants
(e.g. foobar.org, foobar.com, foo-bar.org, foo-bar.com).  Additional
domain variants (SLD and TLD) may be donated (i.e. paid for and perhaps
also transferred), but shall not be considered permanent assets of the
project.

In any case, if possible, spf.pobox.com shall, for the time being, remain
a permanent asset of the project and one of the official domains through
which the website can be accessed.

After this or a similar proposal has been adopted by the council, I will
solicit nominations for the official website domains.



So, are there other domain names that people know of? Which ones are people willing to let the SPF project use? Which ones are good and
why?
