20 months ago, I asked the following question, and I am still unclear if 
we have some plan.
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg88695.html

Again, I'm not interested what the best way to boil the DMARC ocean is.
I'm interested in the IETF cup of tea, as an enterprise, not as the 
responsible SDO.
When I asked before, I was told that there would be results "soon", and 
I should wait.

(I also would like to recommend that the 2016 nomcom be given 
@something.ietf.org IMAP mailboxes, because DMARC makes receiving 
feedback very difficult.)

So again, my questions were:

I don't think we ever made a decision here.  I'm pretty sure that we 
need to make this decision regardless of what improvements are made to 
DMARC.  If someone marks their email as not for forwarding, perhaps we 
should respect that.  Some suggested that the lists refuse to have 
people on them with p=reject policy.

My spam processor has just started processing DMARC, which will kick me 
off mailing lists unless I disable it.  Fortunately, that is an option, 
but I think I have to turn off SPF to get it.

Has the tools cmte determined if mailman will be enhanced in the way 
that we want?
So, again, I'm not interested in what we might specify as an SDO.
I'm interested in what we are going to *do* as an entity.
