Then why have a BoF at all?  It seems rather premature to discuss work beyond
the base specification before we know what will be in the base specification.

First, the DMARC spec is sufficiently well baked and mature that it should provide a solid enough basis for discussion.  It's not likely that changes to it would be so drastic as to invalidate the BoF results.

Second, the *plan* right now is to have the base spec AD sponsored, but the BoF could provide input to that plan.  We expect to hear what the community thinks of the work and how it should proceed, as well as to get a sense of who will work on it, who will implement it, and that sort of thing.


You can find the spec here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kucherawy-dmarc-base-00 and it has not much changed (in terms of functionality) since the first release, one year ago: http://dmarc.org/draft-dmarc-base-00-01.txt

It has been 3 months since the spec has been released as an IETF document, where people had the opportunity to comment and as Barry said no drastic changes required have surfaced, and prior to that for more than a year the DMARC group has been taking input from the whole industry. so I'm not expecting any surprise, tho it may happen.
