I see that google.com now publishes a DMARC policy of p=quarantine.

While this won't bounce people off lists like p=reject does, it still 
makes it fairly pointless to post to this or any other list from a 
google.com address, since no recipients hosted at Google, Hotmail, Yahoo, 
AOL, Comcast, or other large providers will see it.

If you're at Google, you might want to find yourself a less broken 
address, and perhaps ask the people in your mail team if their intention 
was to tell you not to particpate in the IETF on work time.
