James,
You are most certainly a man of your word. Your donation of the
OpenSPF.org name to the SPF community should certainly be remembered
by all with thanks and appreciation. People can misjudge others
because they cannot always see what goes on behind the curtain and
thus make their own erroneous conclusions. I suspect many of us have
also shared that experience.
I am very happy to learn that you have such a promising project
going, perhaps once it is ready for prime time, you can share it in
more detail as an OT post to this list.
On the other hand, I am also very sorry to learn about your
Grandmother. Such events as these are among the most difficult times
in life. Stay strong and know that I and others will keep you and
your family in our prayers.
I wish you peace and success.
Best,
Alan Maitland

Everyone,
I have committed a transfer of the 'OpenSPF.org' domain name using the
following registrant information:
Organization: Sender Policy Framework Council
First name: Wayne
Last name: Schlitt
Address: 4615 Meredeth #9
City: Lincoln
State: Nebraska
Postal Code: 68506
Phone 402 450-1515
E-mail address: wayne(_at_)schlitt(_dot_)net
I am sorry for the delay.
Wayne thanks for raising to your usual level of self control.
For what its worth, no I have not had 10 minutes to transfer this domain
name. I've been away, and I've been working harder than I believe I
have ever in my life. I've been granted access to a phenominal
opportunity, and I'm the only developer on this project. To put it in
perspective we're are working three separate potential avenues of
forward movement with our now complete product, and each of them
involves some very major players.
One of these involves playing ball with one of the four major cellular
manufacturers. Did I state that I am the only developer? I choose my
life over the transfer of a domain name for once, so please forgive me.
I've been on the road, and working enough hours I've actually lost
count. These deals set the tone for the rest of my life and quite
frankly the less work in the future the better. I don't think anyone
here can reasonable hold this against me.
Additionally, I found out yesterday my Grandmother is dying, and I've
just gotten back from Seattle picking up my mother from the airport.
I've now got to play householder to her and other family who will be
flying in, all the while attempting to address work related tasks.
.. snip ..
At any rate, again everyone, I'm sorry for the hold up, but I'm just
another unpaid volunteer who has expended a lot of time, money, and
energy into this project. Its a shame that those who should know this
better than anyone are the first to jump on the "James' words are
worthless" wagon.
Cheers,
James
