The IESG has received a request from the SPF Update WG (spfbis) to consider the following document: - 'Resolution of The SPF and Sender ID Experiments' <draft-ietf-spfbis-experiment-09.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract In 2006 the IETF published a suite of protocol documents comprising SPF and Sender ID, two proposed email authentication protocols. Both of these protocols enable one to publish via the Domain Name System a policy declaring which mail servers were authorized to send email on behalf of the domain name being queried. There was concern that the two would conflict in some significant operational situations, interfering with message delivery. The IESG required the publication of all of these documents (RFC4405, RFC4406, RFC4407, and RFC4408) with Experimental status, and requested that the community observe deployment and operation of the protocols over a period of two years from the date of publication to determine a reasonable path forward. After six years, sufficient experience and evidence have been collected that the experiments thus created can be considered concluded. This document presents those findings. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spfbis-experiment/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spfbis-experiment/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
