DMARC Folks -

As you know, the authors of the DMARC specification have been looking to
find a home for the base document somewhere within the IETF.  We've
explored various options in the past year, and now it looks like we've
found the right path.

We have chosen to submit the DMARC specification via the Independent
Submission Editor (ISE). This will have three primary effects: (1) it
will be published with a permanent reference location; (2) it will be
classified as Informational rather than as a Proposed Standard; (3) the
ISE process is a much more direct path to publication.

A primary reason for this shift is that DMARC is already a mature
specification with broad adoption. We also want to help support its
continued deployment and provide a foundation for potential future
evolution. There are some related issues that still need to mature
further, such as reporting practices, domain boundary identification,
etc. To facilitate those work streams, it is important to publish a
referenceable version of the specification.

To support this effort, we are asking the community for input as we
prepare the current version for submission to the ISE. We are seeking
concise statements that can be incorporated into the specification
primarily with a focus toward clarity, readability, and utility. While
we're happy to continue cataloging suggestions for future work, our goal
is primarily to tighten up this version of the document. Please send
your comments to this IETF discussion list within the next week as we
intend to submit the final version of the specification to the ISE by
the close of the meeting in London.

Current Specification:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-dmarc-base/

Also, if you happen to be at IETF 89 in London, you can corner Murray
Kucherawy and share your thoughts with him (as he has the pen on the
current draft)... though he'll probably suggest you send your specific
suggestions to the list, anyway.

Once the specification is published, our intent is to wind down the
loose collaboration effort known as DMARC.org.  The goal is to clearly
turn DMARC over to the community to maintain like any other open
specification.

On behalf of the original authors, we would like to extend our thanks to
everyone for being part of the effort thus far. DMARC is not perfect but
it's clear that it is having a substantial positive influence across the
ecosystem. We look forward to your final comments and hope to engage
with everyone on some other new and exciting work that will help improve
trust in email.

Thank you all,
Trent
