The 2006 SPF Council Elections
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
In late 2004, the community of the SPF Project decided that a more
organized, cohesive approach would be needed in order to fight e-mail
identity forgery and other e-mail abuse. Thus, the SPF Council body was
created and elected in December 2004[1]. Five council members were
chosen[2] to lead the project over the following months: Mark Kramer
(Leiden, Netherlands), Chuck Mead (Cary, NC, USA), Julian Mehnle (Munich,
Germany), Wayne Schlitt (Lincoln, NE, USA), and project founder Meng Weng
Wong (Philadelphia, PA, USA). In mid-2005, Chuck Mead left the council
and Greg Connor (San Jose, CA, USA) took the open seat.
Now in 2006, one year after the council's formation, the SPF Project goes
on to elect its second council[3]. Again, five council members will lead
the project over the next twelve months to solidify the SPF standard and
continue the battle against e-mail sender forgery according to the visions
of the project's community.
According to the council election procedures that were passed just
today[4], this year's election process starts today, on Monday 2006-01-02
at 00:00 UTC. Everyone is eligible to vote in the election who is
subscribed to the spf-discuss mailing list. As a one-time deviation from
the formal procedures, due to tightness of schedule the eligibility key
date will be postponed by one week.
So if you would like to participate in the 2006 council elections, please
make sure that you are subscribed to the spf-discuss mailing list[5] by
Monday, 2006-01-09, 00:00 UTC.
Nominations for council membership can be submitted to the spf-discuss
mailing list before the same day. Also before coming Monday, the sitting
council will appoint a neutral election officer who will conduct the
election and certify the results.
This will be the schedule of the 2006 council elections:
