SPF Council would like request that SPF Community provide better
indication as to if an appeal to IETF IAB should or should not be made in 
regards to misuse of v=spf1 records by Sender ID experiment. We request 
that members of SPF Community (especially those who have not posted about 
it before) clearly show their opinion on this issue and indicate 
appropriate action (if any) that should be taken.

It is probably unwise from a political point of view but this is
how I think about such matters:

- Every effort should be (or: have been) made to resolve this issue
  with microsoft.  Once the council knows how to get around the thick
  headed people, maybe with a bit of luck some sane people can be reached?
- The abuse of records is or is not a problem.  It does not become less
  of a problem when SPF publication is delayed by another six months as
  a result of mentioning the problem.
- A delay in SPF publication is unfortunate but, if necessary, cannot
  be avoided

So, the real question is:  Does MS's incompetence become a real problem
or not.  If we think it is a problem, appeal.  If we think this will
delay SPF publication, I say "so what".

Personally, right now, I think MS should just be ignored.  This may
change (like any opinion).
