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.
