Established in late November 2004, the SPF Council consists of five democratically elected members of the project community. The council leads the project in its efforts to make SPF a widely accepted standard on the Internet and coordinates the project's public relations work.
These are the basic rules by which the council body itself operates:
Information Resources
The council communicates with itself and with the public using various dedicated resources:
- The spf-announce mailing list: public announcements of the SPF Project.
- The spf-council mailing list: public discussions of the council. Anyone can read, only council members and advisors can post.
- The #spf-council IRC channel: public discussions of the council. Anyone can read, only council members and advisors can talk.
- The spf-private mailing list: private discussions of the council. Closed to council members and advisors.
- The Council Secretary can provide any information regarding the council and its work that is not covered by the website and that has not been classified as private.
