It appears that Dave Crocker  <[email protected]> said:
The method of finding the organizational domain should be specified
outside of the base DMARC specification.  I suggested this back during
the PSD discussion.
That assumes that the org domain is useful on its own, rather than
just as a tool to help find policy records or to check for relaxed
alignment.

It does?  I don't understand how it assumes that.

If the org domain isn't useful, why would we care how it's defined?

We tried and failed to find a general method to find an organizaional domain in DBOUND, and I don't think we want to go there again.

So it's a good thing I didn't suggest anything of the sort.

Could you explain in simple language that even I could understand how a generic definition of a way to find an org domain is not what DBOUND tried to do?

As I'm sure you remember, the late Gervase Markham proposed standardizing the PSL in DBOUND, and Casey Decchio and I had ways to put similar info in the DNS. In each case, the idea was that you gave it a domain, it gave you back the PSD above that domain. You know, like we do for org domains.
