Perhaps those involved in other disciplines do not understand what policy does.
Here is an example; The Policy of one Govs' current administration is that people do better with their own money than government. That policy gets acted upon and taxes get reduced and some government services get cut and people have more money in their discretionary pocket. The same for businesses. Now the idea being that with more money people will spend it and with that jobs must be created to fulfill the service and goods demands etc etc.
What is referred to here would be a result of a policy that would somehow encourage such things as "flooding the market for address verifiers with good code that people can just take and use". That policy would be possibly; liasoning with suppliers of verifiers with good code and encouraging interfacing with existing market controllers to create an atmosphere of synergy to produce investment and stability and confidence in those willing to risk in order to accomplish such a task. This would be the result of a larger "mission statement" or broader Policy which was to help and assist trade groups and Gov's to understand needs and provide legislated incentives to coordinate and develop industries toward more sustainable internet growth.
Think of policy as the nourishment for the development of adolescent ideas in order that they may mature rather than suffer from conditionally caused arrested development.

FWIW, this is a battle against _JavaScript and VB c0derz who don't
know what they are doing, and certainly won't care about ICANN
policies or RFCS.
As I said earlier, what this problem needs is flooding the market
for address verifiers with good code!
that
people can just take and
use. You won't solve this problem on the policy level.
