All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

IETF Disbands eMail Authentication Standard Working Group
(24/23/22 September 2004)
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has disbanded its MTA
Authorization Records in DNS (MARID) working group, due largely to
"fundamental disagreements" among members and the inability of the group

to reach a consensus on any particular email authentication scheme.
Recent problems included intellectual property and licensing concerns
with Microsoft's proposed sender ID scheme.

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
