The term "General Purpose Domain" or any variant thereof does not appear in
DMARCbis.

There is one appearance of the term "general-purpose" at the end of Section
7.6:

In particular, this document makes explicit that domains for
general-purpose email SHOULD NOT deploy a DMARC policy of p=reject.

I propose that rather than twist ourselves into knots trying to define
"general-purpose" or "General Purpose Domain" that we instead add text to
the above-quoted sentence that says "See section 8.6 (Interoperability
Considerations) for further discussion of this topic." and be done with it.
