Description

Membership can matter: Affiliations List (AffiL) provides a method for determining whether an individual, authenticated domain name has a particular affiliation. Many different types of affiliation lists are possible. They can declare ownership by the publisher, some sort of permission by the publisher, membership in a group, and so on. Examples include: Domain names can be used as the core identifier in an assessment process, such as when filtering incoming email. One type of assessment is to note that the name is used by a person, role or organization having a particular affiliation, such as being part of a well-known company or being part of a salient industry association. Such a list is distinct from qualitative assessment lists, such as for email reputation. It provides a means by which the list owner can describe the list, but the specification does not indicate what affiliations exist or should be consulted. The specification uses Vouch By Reference (VBR) as its query mechanism.
