Now, now.

As I hardly need tell you, we have decades of experience with
approaches to establishing e-mail identity, from PEM and PGP to S/MIME
and DKIM, and also decades of experience on dealing with spam and
fraudument e-mail, most recently DMARC and ARC.

I'm not likely to pay much attention to comments from anyone who
hasn't made a reasonable effort to look at the past work and
understand where it has succeeded and where it hasn't.

A global address registry is a WKBI, a Well Known Bad Idea.

R's,
