Then again, the current DMARC debacle presents a cautionary tale of more ad hoc approaches.
DMARC's proponents tried to come to the IETF to form a working group so that it could undergo the rigors of standards development, and thus not be as "ad hoc" as you're describing. It was not accepted, on the basis that, in essence, the work was already done so there's nothing for the IETF to contribute.
