I think the situation is different enough in many respects that there's not much to learn from it today. I mostly responded because I think that if people do discuss history, they ought to be accurate about it. If there's a lesson to be learned it's that the complete lack of existence of those certification registries ought to perhaps give pause to those arguing for similar things now. For SPF there was a service for some time called trusted- forwarder.org, but it never really got much traction. The reasons MARID was terminated with no output (none of the SPF and Sender-ID RFCs were working group products, they were done independently after the working group was closed and both were different in important respects than what MARID was working towards) were, IMO, entirely non-technical. I'm willing to discuss them if someone wants to chat about history, but not here, I think it's off topic.
