A draft has been started on this, with slow progress. The draft aims to fill 
documentation gaps based on how domain-level policies can impact organizations 
(across the whole email food chain) and how to best manage 
impact/interoperability.

The original intent of the document was to share operational experience from 
the PoV of Domain Owners, third party senders, and email receivers/processors. 
For example, if a third party sender wants to start sending on behalf of Domain 
Owners, the document would describe how to do this in a ~normal way. The 
production of the document was supposed to get people to share experience, 
especially in areas outside of commercial activity.

That said, given the WG's history of thin participation, I'm OK with dropping 
the Usage Guide. The existing gaps in documentation will be filled outside of 
the IETF. On the one hand I'm a believer that an IETF-produced Usage Guide is 
better for interoperability than a collection of to-be-published documents 
spread throughout the Internet. On the other hand, forcing a bunch of people to 
work on a draft isn't how I like to spend my Internet time.
