The second follows the recommendation on new.openspf.org:

  Unless you have researched and developed a PRA policy, you should
  publish an empty spf2.0/pra record.

Trying to check this I stumbled over some minor issues.  With Google's
help I arrived at http://new.openspf.org/SPF_vs_Sender_ID 

That has a link to the old IETF MARID charter.  A better link is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARID 

I replaced the link to the old MARID charter with the Wikipedia link, 
thanks.

Another link is http://new.openspf.org/blobs/spf-community-position

That one is already linked from the "SPF vs Sender ID" page.

That page might need an update if all patent issues are irrelevant
today (?).

No, I don't think so.  That page never has cared about the PRA patent issue 
(search for "patent", you'll find nothing), so there is nothing to update.  
If Microsoft's OSP initiative proves to still being incompatible to open 
source, we might however want to change that and begin explaining the 
patent issue (on that page or another one).

I missed the list of signatures, therefore I tried my 
link http://www.OpenSPF.org/OpenSPF_community_position_v102.html
That ran into a timeout trying to connect old.openspf.org - is
old.openspf.org intentionally down ?

http://old.openspf.org was hosted by James Couzens.  It is unreachable 
because old.openspf.org points to an old IP address of the server that 
hosts this website (mail.lost-carrier.com, formerly A 142.179.94.230, now 
A 24.83.68.35).  I wasn't aware before, that the server had simply moved, 
so I thought that James had taken down the site.  I had tried to contact 
him about it, but failed.

I have now asked Wayne to switch old.openspf.org to point to earbone. 
openspf.org (the SPF website host) instead, so that should bring this 
website back under our control.

[...]  And probably my "position" link needs an update, I need a
"position page" with a link to the signatures (it's no problem if that
list is closed after two years, but I guess it still exists somewhere).

I have salvaged all the relevant stuff from mail.lost-carrier.com now:

  http://new.openspf.org/blobs/spf-community-position.html
  http://new.openspf.org/blobs/spf-community-position-signatories.html
  http://new.openspf.org/blobs/usa-ftc-open-letter.pdf

(Omitting the file name extensions is probably a good idea, http://new. 
openspf.org is properly configured for multi-views.)

Redirections from http://(www.)openspf.org have been updated.  If Wayne 
makes the DNS update, I could configure redirects from http://old.openspf. 
org, too.
