Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document describes the Domain-based Message Authentication,
   Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) protocol.

   DMARC permits the owner of an email's Author Domain (#author-domain)
   to enable validation of the domain's use, to indicate the Domain
   Owner's (#domain-owner) or Public Suffix Operator's (#public-suffix-
   operator) message handling preference regarding failed validation,
   and to request reports about the use of the domain name.  Mail
   receiving organizations can use this information when evaluating
   handling choices for incoming mail.

   This document obsoletes RFCs 7489 and 9091.

Working Group Summary

   This document took a very long time to develop.  The working
   group experienced long periods of dormancy.  Still, consensus
   was eventually reached on this version.

   There is firm dissent from one or two participants about whether
   this should be on the standards track, but they concede that they
   are in the rough.

Document Quality

   DMARC is widely implemented, both commercially and in open
   source, and is supported by an industry pushing its value
   as an anti-abuse solution.  Some governments have declared it
   "mandatory to implement".

   No particular reviews are outstanding or required.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Tim Wicinski. The Responsible
   Area Director is Murray Kucherawy.
