As "Not Douglas E. Foster" (John Levine) noted, it is a free form field. DMARC has been intended from the start to mitigate direct domain abuse by 3rd parties. I'm hoping that the working group will make better progress by focusing on issues specific to DMARC and not try boiling the ocean by trying to "fix" all forms of abuse through this effort. Display Name abuse is a broader problem that DMARC simply is not in a position to address. This is especially true as most current implementations are at the MTA and MUA providers are not visible among the participants in this working group. My opinion is that trying to address this problem space in this working group is somewhat like trying to push on a rope. If the Chairs are willing to make this call then there is no need to have it as an agenda item for the session given the limited amount of time and the number of other issues that might be better addressed using that limited time.
