I repeat my question sent earlier:

I've not heard anything about what you/council is going to do
in regards to SID drafts going for RFC same as SPF.

I note that there is now only about 10 days left to send an appeal
as by IETF procedures.

My understanding based on IRC logs was the some action would be coming,
please clarify if and when this is being planned for.

This subject was discuss on the July 18th council meeting starting
around 23:09 UTC.  See:

http://www.schlitt.net/spf/spf-council/2005/07/18_irc_log.html#20050718T2309

The discussion was very long and ended up with a motion being made at
00:23 July 19th:

http://www.schlitt.net/spf/spf-council/2005/07/19_irc_log.html#20050719T0023

00:23   <Julian>
   Motion: Someone should prepare an appeal to the IETF in case we
   cannot get MS to stop re-using v=spf1 records for PRA checking. The
   appeal shall be submitted to the IETF if there are no clear
   indications that MS is willing to open serious discussions about
   this within 7 days. Julian will prepare the appeal it if nobody
   else will.

This motion passed.

To the best of my knowledge nobody has done any (significant?) work on
the appeal.

I, for one, made it fairly clear during the discussion that I didn't
like the re-use, but I didn't think it would be a productive use of my
time to work on the IETF appeal.
