(new thread as requested by Julian for appeals to the Council)
In short: they should have honored Julian's appeal.
In short, the appeal should be forwarded as is to the IAB,
because the IESG decision didn't solve the problem.
Quite the contrary, they repeated Mr. Hardie's attempted
manipulation of draft-schlitt-classic-01, when he tried
to remove the NOT RECOMMENDED in chapter 2.4 while saying
nothing about the conflicting SHOULD in senderid-core 3.4.
Now they try to add the senderid "opt-out" concept to the
SPF spec. disguised as "IESG note".
For SPF Council review:
| Whereas the IESG decided to back the abuse of v=spf1 for PRA,
| whereas the IESG member Mr. Hardie dissolved the MARID WG
| after it was clear that the WG won't tolerate to abuse of
| v=spf1 for PRA,
| whereas the IESG member Mr. Hardie tried to remove a caveat
| about this issue from draft-schlitt-spf-classic-01,
| whereas the IESG now plans to add a note recommending opt-out
| from PRA by two dummy spf2.0/pra records for all participants
| of the v=spf1 "experiment",
| whereas the IESG bypassed an "IETF last call" for v=spf1
| despite of a request by the author,
| whereas the IESG claims that more than 1,000,000 published
| v=spf1 records and more than ten independent interoperable
| v=spf1 implementations are an "experiment",
| whereas the "IESG note" will never reach numerous publishers
| of v=spf1 policies,
| whereas no spf2.0 implementation is known to honour the PRA
| "opt out" dummy records where they exist,
| whereas using PRA on v=spf1 will cause hard to debug losses
| of legit mails as well as bogus PRA-PASS results for a forged
| PRA if checked against v=spf1,
| it is henceforth
| resolved that Julian Mehnle is asked to forward his appeal to
| the IAB backed by the SPF Council on behalf of the Community,
| resolved that Waye Schlitt should put the publication of the
| IESG note in the v=spf1 spec. on hold until the IAB decided
| about this appeal,
| resolved to recommend William Leibzon and Julian Mehnle for
| their efforts.
Rough proposal for an SPF Council resolution to be published in
spf-announce together with the IESG decisions. Bye, Frank
