The MAAWG people who want this are hardly "untrustworthy outsiders" 
--- they are the people who have to deal with this on a daily basis. 
ISPs and large senders are already doing this by bi-lateral 
arrangements.  This is no more than an attempt to codify what is 
happening already and which is going to expand.  We can sit around 
arguing about whether this is the theoretically "right" thing to do 
and have the world pass us by, or we can try to do something useful. 
Personally, I'm going for useful.
