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
Great news. Thanks for grabbing this domain on our behalf when it was
available.
I am sorry for the delay.
No problem, life happens.
<...>
I would like to request that you do the following two things, both of
which I believe to be fair requests on my part, and secondly, I'll
state that regardless of your acceptance of either or both I shall be
true to my word and finalize the transfer the domain name over once I
can confirm its all working properly.
#1. Change the wording on the libspf2.org website where libSPF is
referenced inappropriately as "older". I should like to think you are
capable of providing something vastly more appropriate such as:
* libSPF - ANSI C implementation supporting qmail, Sendmail, Postfix
and Exim.
While I have zero interest in reviving bickering over the library issue, and
even less in participating, this does seem like an appropriate practice for
_everybody_. I suggest that it would be best for SPF if _all_ implementers
acknowledge each other's work in a neutral manner, similar to the above
example. Acknowledging multiple implementations builds credibility for the
whole effort.
#2. This one should probably go before the council.
I would appreciate linkage to "http://6o4.ca"; much like the Mozilla
Foundation did when they were given "firefox.com" by Kevin Karpenske:
Thanks for the Domain Name, Kevin!
The Mozilla Foundation thanks Kevin Karpenske, the previous owner of
the Firefox.com domain, for generously having transferred this
domain to our use for the Firefox web browser. Kevin's site can now
be found at Quailish.com
Thank you in advance for your consideration of these requests.
<...>
This is another reasonable request with good precedent. I think the council
should consider it and do whatever is necessary to put personality issues
aside.
