I do expect that we'll discuss "path toward a Proposed Standard
version of DMARC," and I'll put that into the "next steps" section on
the next update to the agenda.
I suggest broaching this topic here and now, so the agenda entry can
show something other than an off-charter draft.
To prime that pump...
Phase II:
Specification of DMARC improvements to support indirect
mail flows
1. Besides ARC, are there other wg efforts that should be pursued to
satisfy this?
ARC targets intermediary action in mail that originated with a
DMARC-satisfying configuration. ARC does not attend to mail that starts
without that. That is, mail starting from an independent third party
source, such as a kiosk.
Draft Guide on DMARC Usage
Current version is -04, so this charter item appears to be satisfied.
Phase III:
Review and refinement of the DMARC specification
Is there technical work on the base specification that would improve it?
One would be a spec revision to deal with ARC. Does DMARC still
'fail'? Yet the whole point of ARC is to create the possibility of
still getting delivered, in spite of this.
And from a note I posted last August: "BTW, the DMARC spec uses
the terms 'pass' and 'fail' with respect to the underlying
authentication mechanisms of DKIM and SPF. It also uses it within the
context of DMARC processing, itself, but it does not define what those
terms mean, in that context. Beyond reference to DMARC 'policy'
records, text in the specs that talk about processing DMARC policy is
similarly implicit, rather than explicit. The only clear, explicit
directive about DMARC outcomes seems to be Section 6.6.2 #6, Apply policy."
Completion of Guide on DMARC Usage
What will it take to complete this doc?
One example would be a spec revision effort that targets
clarification, based on experience coding and deploying DMARC.
I'll also suggest that it would help allay public concerns about
DMARC to be able to have this document include experience-based text
about ARC usage; both discussing how to use it and how effective it is.
