"The DMARC group" (presumably referring to the dmarc.org informal 
consortium that created DMARC) is conducting no such effort.

The action taken this past week was an independent effort by Yahoo.

dmarc.org had nothing to do with it.

The DMARC specification is quite clear about the limitations of its use.

Nothing is aided by the confusing the very basic different between a 
specification and the choices actors make in applying it.
