Andy Newton just posted a blog entry that I think people will find
intersting:

The FTC is not interested in getting feedback about SPF, just
SenderID, CSV ('vaporware'), Domainkeys (on hold due to merger with
IIM), IIM (see DK), and BATV ('vaporware').
Actually, reading the FTC webpage a little closer, it appears things
are a little more open ended than Andy implied:
The proponents of these five standards and *all other members of the
public who are testing domain-level authentication standards* are
invited to submit their testing results to the FTC and to help
identify domain-level authentication standards that aid the fight
against spam and phishing, are inexpensive and simple to implement,
and do not negatively impact the e-mail system.
The "all other members of the public who are testing domain-level
authentication standards" is important. This is a little ambiguous
because it could mean that people who are not proponents of the 5
systems can also add comments on only those 5 systems, but I suspect
not.
Anyway, I think it would be very good of the SPF community to start
collecting the data and answering the questions that the FTC is asking
about.
