If the IESG were to refuse to publish the Sender-ID document as it is, it would not "police" everything: anyone can still do what he wants on the Internet. The only thing than the IETF can do is to "bless" or not the document, saying in essence "it is interesting and worth more experimentation". Not blessing it does not mean actively using lethal force against those who still want to try it. So, cool down, nobody asked the IESG to police or to censor or to forbid, just to NOT bless a bad idea (reusing SPF records in an unattended way). _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
