It looks like we'll need a mechanism to establish an official SPF project position on this. I think we need to elect a new SPF Council.

Hm.. I only have vague ideas about ietf practices. May I ask what are the purposes of an official position and a council election?

The forwarded message reminds us that it is more than time that we write another SPF standard. By "we" I vaguely mean this list. Of course someone should take the burden to actually operate the required IETF procedures.

Frank and Wayne have submitted relevant RFC errata. Are Wayne and Meng, the authors of the current RFC, still on this list? Did they say they are not going to [co-]author a new release? If yes, is that the origin of the RFC5378-related problem?

Proponents of Sender ID and SPF are encouraged to update their
specifications to resolve any conflict that was observed.  Obviously,
it's in their best interests to reach a consensus on what changes are
appropriate instead of trying to publish each document individually
as any individual effort would likely face opposition from the IETF
 community.

Anyone has any notice about activities to rewrite RFC4406?

IMHO, "spf-discuss" is the proper place for discussions on any new SPF RFC. If we get no news from SenderID authors, shouldn't we opt to solve conflicts by using, say, "v=spf3", and aim for the standard track?
