If that last sentence is the consensus of the working group (and I see
that the charter could be interpreted that policy is required), then
fine. But I consider the reporting aspect to be useful even in the
absence of policy assertion or enforcement, allow a domain owner to
obtain information about recipients’ receipt of unauthenticated email
from that domain. I realize that RFC 7489 treats policy as the primary
function and reporting as secondary, but this WG is about improving that
specification, and I consider this to be an improvement.
DMARC can do 3 things:
1. Define alignment and how to effect it
2. Request receive-side disposition of non-aligned mail
3. Request reporting.
DMARC does not have to do 2 or 3. It can refrain from making a handling
request and it can refrain from requesting reporting.
A claim that DMARC isn't DMARC unless there is policy seems an odd view,
given p=none.
