See the example I posted last week.

Currently with the PSL lookup, foo.com is an org domain whether or not it 
publishes a DMARC record, and mail.foo.com and sales.foo.com are in 
relaxed alignment.  While I think it would be reasonable to say that an 
org domain has to publish a DMARC record if it's going to be used for 
relaxed alignment, that would be a change from the current rule.

Since there is no chance that .com .net .org or other large TLDs will ever 
publish a PSD record it makes little difference in practice, but if we 
agree the org domain needs a DMARC record, we should make clear that this 
is a deliberate change.  It's a good idea since if foo.com has no DMARC 
record and .com has no PSD record, it won't work as an org domain anyway.
