#15: A Project Charter shall be created
A Project Charter shall be created that specifies the project's commonly agreed-on mission. For that, drafts shall be created and discussed on the spf-discuss mailing list, and then be put to vote.
(Proposed on 2004-12-22 by Julian Mehnle. Passed unanimously.)
<csm-laptop> 7. Create a mission statement? Proposal to create one? (Chair)
<csm-laptop> "The mission of the SPF Council is to Steer the overall SPF
<csm-laptop> standardization effort, promote the deployment of SPF on the
global
<csm-laptop> Internet, and to develop and improve SPF's public messaging and
<csm-laptop> communications."
<Julian> What's the scope of the mission statement?
<csm-laptop> modifications?
<Julian> I object to create a mission statement for the council before a
mission statement for the SPF project has been created.
* grumpy hates mission statements in general.
<grumpy> julian has a point there...
* MarkK agrees with Julian: we basivcally only need a mission
statement for the Spf Community; and then add a line which says:
"The SPF Council will lead this effort".
<Julian> MarkK: Agreed.
<csm-laptop> The mission of the SPF Project is to create and maintain an
internet standard for the prevention of forged electronic mail."
<grumpy> MarkK: yep
<Julian> csm: A good start, but too general.
<Julian> We shouldn't be creating mission statements on IRC.
<grumpy> agreed
<csm-laptop> okay...
<Julian> Motion: Let's create a draft for a mission statement for the SPF
project (AKA project charter).
<Julian> ...on the mailing list.
<csm-laptop> which mailing list?
* grumpy seconds 1531 if thst is ok with the chair
<Julian> council mailing list.
<Julian> Then discuss it on spf-discuss.
<grumpy> ... noting any comments on spf-discuss
<Julian> Yes.
<csm-laptop> second: 1531u
<Julian> Votes?
<Julian> 1531u: yes
<grumpy> 1531u yes
<MarkK> 1531u: yes
<csm-laptop> so ordered... Julian... your idea... you start... you may take my draft and twist it as you will... :-)
