Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-dmarc/

DMARC was previously chartered to develop and publish a base document and two
reporting documents. This work has been completed.

In the intervening time, the working group also published the Authenticated
Received Chain protocol as experimental RFC 8617.  Industry experience has
shown that this proposal has enjoyed neither noteworthy uptake nor sufficient
impact, though it continues to develop momentum that is believed to be
unsupportable by evidence.

Accordingly, DMARC is being chartered (again) to find consensus on a document
that changes RFC 8617 to historical status, including prose describing the
history and current status of the work.

This iteration of the DMARC working group is chartered for the sole purpose
of completing this task This working group will adopt no other documents or
work items. This sole task is to be completed no later than six months from
working group rechartering. If this working group fails to meet this
deadline, the group will close at that time.

Milestones:

  Nov 2026 - Request approval of a status-change document moving ARC to
  Historic
