Council Election/2007-01

Showing revision 36

The voting phase is over and preliminary results of the election are available. Please submit disputes regarding the election outcome to the election officer, William Leibzon, before Thursday 2007-02-01 00:00 UTC.


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. 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. 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.
