Whether we use sub-domain or .well-known URL path to serve STS policies, I'm not sure whether we can guarantee uniqueness with the resource. I think sub-domains are better because it helps the Mail admins to control those policies - means they can make updates to these endpoint without depending

DMARC is a mechanism to fight against mail related abuse (eg. spam emails). And for that matter it is sufficient to keep DMARC/DKIM/SPF records in DNS. In the case of STS, the threats we are considering is quite different from DMARC. It is because of the same reason we are not sticking policy in

IMO the main hurdle with key-value format is that we do not have a standard format, and by extension off-the-shelf library support. So the question is - whether to write custom kv parsers or use a standard format - JSON. Thanks,-binu From: Daniel Margolis To: uta@ietf.org Sent: Sunday,

My preference would be not to cache the policy by the reverse-proxy. Like Dan said, the provider can handle more traffic than the proxy, hence I think caching is not a requirement. Provider may set appropriate Cache-Control HTTP header to prevent caching Example:Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
