I don't follow.

A "no change" recommendation caused problems.  The current fix is:

1) "Rewrite From" to tear down restrictive DMARC security,
2) Prevent Subscription/Submission of restrictive DMARC domains.

#1 is undesirable. Empirical practice on a different internet has shown when 
following #2, for an existing list with members with restrictive domains, they 
will essentially become Read-Only List members because any submission/reply by 
them will be blocked.

Hector,

I think we all understand that there are things mailing lists can do to 
mitigate the interoperability impacts of DMARC.  I don't think it's germane to 
the current question.  Please, let's stay focused.

I honestly don't follow the PS. What is the question? Where are we not suppose to "go there" to?

Let me ask, is DMARCbis going to be intentionally ambiguous about these long time inherent protocol problems? Just like ADSP was? Or we just want it to be open ended - say nothing? I don't know. We do that. But not like this, for so long. I just wish to finally close some of the most obvious loop holes and reduce false positives with well defined options like done with SPF. SPF has a way to offer 3rd party machines. DMARC also needs a way to offer 3rd party signers.

Something like a simple DMARCbis endorsement would work wonders:

    Verifier MAY check|explore|consider|implement an extended technology
for ADID::SDID authorization. There are a number of concepts available
    using a DNS or non-DNS approach to verifier the association, if any.
    The following proposals are available:

Personally, I think it should be reduced to two simple approaches, described in IETF fashion:

    ATPS - Murray's protocol.  Brilliant. Simply wasn't promoted.
    VBR  - Levine's protocol. Also brilliant. Why was it not used?

A published DMARCbis will most likely not going to change again for a long time. So it should recognize in this draft document, the need to help close the loop holes ADSP failed to do causing it to be abandoned. DMARCbis risk the same sound engineering challenges.
