I mentioned in another thread that the DMARC people did come to the IETF
to ask for a working group to complete development of the work on the
standards track. This request was denied on the grounds that DMARC was
essentially already done, and thus the IETF had nothing engineering-wise to
contribute. There were also too few people that were not already DMARC
proponents that would commit to working on it.
The DMARC folk came to the IETF to have a rubber stamp put on their work,
and pretty explicitly stated that no substantive changes were acceptable,
and that change control would de-facto remains with the DMARC consortium.
So nobody who wasn't already "in the club" was really invited.
Feel free to go review the quite extensive discussion almost exactly a year
ago, but it includes suggestions that the DMARC group really only wanted
the IETF to polish the document's text a bit, but that this was rejected.
So no, I dispute very heavily that the DMARC people ever came to the IETF
to "complete development of the work"; there were explicit statements at
the time that they came to have the document wordsmithed without changing
the protocol at all.
The discussion (that I read at the time; there may be more) is all in the
apps-discuss archives.
