I think the only thing that might be missing is explicitly importing the term 
organizational domain from RFC 7489.  I think it wouldn't hurt to add it, but 
I don't think it's needed.  As early as the second sentence of the 
introduction the draft is discussing organizational domain and clearly in a 
DMARC context (even with an RFC 7489 reference).  I don't think there's any 
real risk a reader of the draft would be confused.
