Hi,
the adoption of the PSD extension experiment brought some heavy-handed wording.

Abstract:
This document describes the Domain-based Message Authentication,
Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) protocol.
DMARC permits the owner of an email author's domain name to enable
verification of the domain's use, to indicate the Domain Owner's or
Public Suffix Operator's message handling preference regarding failed
verification, and to request reports about use of the domain name.
Mail receiving organizations can use this information when evaluating
handling choices for incoming mail.
This document obsoletes RFC 7489.
In the rest of the document, the phrase is shortened to "Domain Owner or PSO",
which is less clumsy. Would it be useful to introduce the notion of Domain
Controller? It is the entity which can publish records in the relevant zone.
A Domain Owner is a Domain Controller which also manages a mail server.
Using that term, I'd attempt a more readable version of the second paragraph of
the Abstract like so:
DMARC permits a Domain Controller to enable verification of the domain
name usage for designating email authors, to indicate the Domain
Controller's message handling preference regarding failed verification,
and to request reports about such usage of the domain name. Mail
receiving organizations can use this information when evaluating
handling choices for incoming mail.
Does it sound better?
Best
Ale
