Since we're in WGLC here, this erratum is worth consideration.  I've
recommended "Held For Document Update" as the disposition.

My reply to the erratum was:

===

The algorithm as presented is correct, but I understand this report.

The steps are, paraphrased:

(1) Go get a set of things.

(2) Filter them.

(3) If the set is now empty, go get a set of things from a different
location.

(4) Filter them.

[...]

If the filter at step (2) doesn't leave an empty set, step (3) is a no-op,
and running the same filter at step (4) is also a no-op.  If the filter at
(2) does leave an empty set, go get other data at (3), and then run the
same filter on them at (4).

It's correct, but it could be more explicit about what's going on here.

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7489,
"Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7835

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Giuseppe Trotta <giuse...@ohpe.it>

Section: 6.6.3

Original Text
-------------
   2.  Records that do not start with a "v=" tag that identifies the
       current version of DMARC are discarded.

   3.  If the set is now empty, the Mail Receiver MUST query the DNS for
       a DMARC TXT record at the DNS domain matching the Organizational
       Domain in place of the RFC5322.From domain in the message (if
       different).  This record can contain policy to be asserted for
       subdomains of the Organizational Domain.  A possibly empty set of
       records is returned.

   4.  Records that do not start with a "v=" tag that identifies the
       current version of DMARC are discarded.

Corrected Text
