The major news here was that Asst. Secretary Manfra used the event to announce a ‘binding operational directive’ that all U.S. federal agencies and websites implement DMARC, and also STARTTLS, within 90 days. They were allowed an additional 90 to implement HTTPS.

Chris Grundemann, representing ISOC, was able to give a detailed clarification on the differences between SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, also noting they were IETF-developed standards. https://twitter.com/GlobalCyberAlln/status/919930284220567553
