COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

"DMARC", paragraph 1
> Accordingly, DMARC is being rechartered to publish a document that moves RFC
8617 to > historical/obsolete status, including prose describing the history
and current status of the work.

The charter states the WG will "publish a document that moves RFC 8617 to
historical/obsolete status." But under the IETF process, an Informational RFC
does not, by itself, change another RFC's status. Per the IESG Statement on
Designating RFCs as Historic (2014-07-20), a status-change document is required
— maintained in the datatracker and linked to the affected RFC — to actually
effect the reclassification.

Also, the charter uses the phrase "historical/obsolete status" as if these are
synonymous. They are not. Since no replacement for ARC is contemplated, the
correct designation is Historic, not "obsolete." Using both terms in the
charter creates ambiguity about what the WG is actually being asked to produce:
a replacement that obsoletes ARC, or a rationale document that supports a
Historic designation. The charter should use "Historic" consistently and
precisely.

"DMARC", paragraph 2
> Milestones

The charter states a six-month deadline for the sole deliverable, but the
Milestones section here is blank. For IESG approval, at a minimum, a single
milestone should be present.
