Hi from ICANN 65 in Marrakech. The gTLD registry contracts say directly or indirectly what's allowed in each TLD zone. Here's the language in the base registry agreement that the new TLDs all use: https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/agreements/agreement-approved-31jul17-en.html#exhibitA.1 For the older TLDs, notably .com, the contract refers to Consensus Policies, which are at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/registrars/consensus-policies-en One of those policies is the Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) which is at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/registries/rsep/policy-en Here's the list of RSEP requests: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rsep-2014-02-19-en Adding a dmarc record to individual TLD would need an RSEP, for which an RFC would likely be helpful but probably not essential. The RSEP process for things that are not politically controversial is not particularly hard. Adding them to all of the TLDs could be a new consensus policy, or maybe a change to the base agreement. How to do that is above my pay grade. R's, John _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
