NEWS FROM THE SENDER POLICY FRAMEWORK (SPF) PROJECT
======================================================================

----------------------------------------------------------------------
New and improved: The SPF website: http://www.openspf.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long period of planning and a lot of volunteer work, the SPF 
project is happy to present you its new website at:

  http://www.openspf.org

We have consolidated all the useful information about SPF from the old 
website[1], and we have expanded our "FAQ"[2] and "Best Practices"[3] 
sections.  Be sure to pay a visit to the new website and recommend it
to your peers (and bosses)!

Significant increase in SPF deployment
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The publishing of SPF sender policies has increased significantly in
2006.  A recent survey[4] by MarkMonitor reports a total of over
4,000,000 SPF records published within just the .com/.net/.org top-
level domains, comprising nearly 6% of all registered .com/.net/.org 
domains!

The 2007 SPF Council Elections

HTML: http://www.openspf.org/Council_Election/2007-01

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2007 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].  For the first time, five council
members were chosen to lead the project.

Now in 2007, two years after the council's formation, the SPF Project goes
on to elect its third council[2].  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[3], this year's election
process starts on 2007-01-08.  Everyone will be eligible to vote in the
election who is subscribed to the spf-discuss mailing list[4] at that
time.  So if you would like to participate in the 2007 council elections,
please make sure that you are subscribed to that mailing list by Monday
2007-01-08 00:00 UTC[5].

Nominations for council membership should be submitted to the spf-discuss
mailing list before 2007-01-15.  Also before that date, the sitting
council will appoint a neutral election officer who will conduct the
election and certify the results.
