This is a ticket about precision. There are multiple actors within the
scope of DMARC, and the document lacks the explicit use cases and
definitions for the interactions to be stated precisely.

If you think the document is clear, say so. In these threads, there seems
to be agreement that it's not terribly clear, and a BCP might help
disambiguate. The Chairs have explicitly asked for rough consensus on this
topic, as having part of these definitions in the base spec will drive
clarity and scope as other changes are made. If we can't define what it
means for each actor to participate in DMARC, how can we possibly write a
coherent and consistent spec?
