DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)
Extension For TLDs (Top Level Domains)
draft-kitterman-dmarc-tld-00
Abstract
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and
Conformance) is a scalable mechanism by which a mail-originating
organization can express domain-level policies and preferences for
message validation, disposition, and reporting, that a mail-receiving
organization can use to improve mail handling. DMARC itself does not
apply to TLDs (Top Level Domains). For the subset of TLDs that
require DMARC usage, it is appropriate to provide TLD level DMARC
capability. This memo describes an extension to DMARC to enable a
subset of DMARC functionality for such TLDs.

1. Introduction
DMARC [RFC7489] provides email sending organizational policy
information to email receivers. Due to the design of DMARC [RFC7489]
and the nature of the Internet email architecture [RFC5598], there
are interoperability issues associated with DMARC [RFC7489]
deployment. These are discused in Interoperability Issues between
DMARC and Indirect Email Flows [RFC7960]. These issues are not
applicable to TLDs, since they do not send mail.
DMARC [RFC7489], by design, does not support requirements of TLD
operators. For TLDs that require use of DMARC [RFC7489], a subset of
DMARC reporting and enforcement capability is needed for TLD
operators to effectively manage and monitor implementation of TLD
requirements.

2. Terminology and Definitions
This section defines terms used in the rest of the document.
2.1. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2.2. Top Level Domain (TLD)
The global Internet Domain Name System (DNS) is documented in
numerous Requests for Comment (RFC). It defines a tree of names
starting with root, ".", immediately below which are Top Level Domain
names such as ".com" and ".us".
2.3. TLD Operator (TLDO)
A TLD Operator manages operations within their TLD.
2.4. TLDO Controlled Domain Names
TLDO Controlled Domain Names are names in the DNS that are managed by
TLDOs and not available for use as organizational domains (the term
organizational domains is defined in DMARC [RFC7489]). Depending on
TLD policy, these will have one (e.g. ".com") or more (e.g. ".co.uk")
name components.
3. TLD DMARC Updates to DMARC Requirements
This document updates DMARC [RFC7489] as follows:
3.1. General Updates
References to "Domain Owners" also apply to TLDOs.
3.2. Section 6.1 DMARC Policy Record
TLD DMARC records are published as a subdomain of the TLD. For the
TLD ".example", the TLDO would post DMARC preferences in a TXT record
at "_dmarc.example".
Kitterman Expires March 12, 2019 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft TLD DMARC September 2018
3.3. Section 6.5. Domain Owner Actions
In addition to the DMARC [RFC7489] domain owner actions, TLDOs will
need to update the "DMARC Top Level Domain (TLD) Registry". This
registry is defined in Section 6.1.
3.4. Section 6.6.3. Policy Discovery
A new step between step 3 and 4 is added:
3A. If the set is now empty and the TLD of the Organizational Domain
is listed in the DMARC TLD Registry, the Mail Receiver MUST query
the DNS for a DMARC TXT record at the DNS domain matching the
Organizational Domain with one label removed in place of the
RFC5322.From domain in the message (if different). A possibly
empty set of records is returned.
As an example, for a message with the Organizational Domain of
"example.compute.amazonaws.com.cn", the query for TLD DMARC would use
"_dmarc.compute.amazonaws.com.cn".
4. Privacy Considerations
This document does not significantly change the Privacy
Considerations of [RFC7489].
4.1. Feedback leakage to TLDO
With the exception of branded TLDs (e.g. ".google"), RUA and RUF
reports based on TLD DMARC have the potential to contain information
about emails related to multiple organizations. As a result, privacy
sensitive information might be leaked from a domain owning
organization to the TLDO.
This is not an issue for organizational domains that publish DMARC
policy. For such domains, the feedback reporting addresses (RUA and
RUF) of the organization will be used. Since TLD DMARC is limited to
TLDs that mandate organizational domains publish DMARC policy, the
risk of this issue is limited to organizational domains that are out
of compliance with TLD policy.
TLDOs will receive feedback on non-existant domains, which may be
similar to existing organizational domains. Feedback related to such
cousin domains have a small risk of carrying information related to
an actual organizational domain. To minimize this potential concern,
TLD DMARC feedback is best limited to Aggregate Reports. Feedback
Reports carry more detailed information and present a greater risk.

5. Security Considerations
This document does not change the Security Considerations of
[RFC7489].
6. IANA Considerations
This section describes actions requested to be completed by IANA.
6.1. DMARC Top Level Domain (TLD) Registry
IANA is requested to create a new DMARC Top Level Domain (TLD)
Registry within the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting,
and Conformance (DMARC) Parameters Registry.
Names of TLDs participating in TLD DMARC must be registered with IANA
in this new sub-registry. New entries are assigned only for TLDs
that require use of DMARC. The requirement has to be documented in a
manner that satisfies the terms of Expert Review, per [RFC5226]. The
Designated Expert needs to confirm that provided documentation
adequately describes TLD policy to require domain owners to use
DMARC.
The initial set of entries in this registry is as follows:
+-------------+----------------+---------------+
| TLD | Reference | Status |
+-------------+----------------+---------------+
| .bank | this document | current |
+-------------+----------------+---------------+
| .insurance | this document | current |
+-------------+----------------+---------------+
