On 4 April, we received a new suggestion, numbered 2018.6 on confirmed receipt, that suggested that ARIN should not be getting involved with DMARC. The full text of the suggestion is as follows:
Description: DMARC Suggestion: I do not think ARIN should get involved in political things and potential lawsuits citizens can and should make when some governments with some email providers clearly stop some email communications. Value to Community: I am a small ISP who has had both mine and my customer's emails illegally stopped in my opinion and the only explanation is it is being done by either governments or upstream ISP's that also email providers and/or regulated telecommunications companies. DMARC like all the other crap tried will not work until citizens are allowed to rightfully sue over these issues. It's not wise for ARIN to get in the middle requiring DMARC as a bandaid in my opinion. You may view this online at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2018-6.html On 6 April, we issued the following response and closed the suggestion: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2018.6 upon confirmed receipt, providing feedback to ARIN on the topic of DMARC. We recently conducted an open community consultation on the topic of adding DMARC support for ARIN mailing lists. We will include the information you have provided in this suggestion as additional feedback to be considered with the feedback previously received during the open period of the consultation. Thank you again for participating in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process. Noting your feedback will be included with that of the previously closed consultation on the DMARC topic, we will be closing your suggestion and will retain documentation of it on the ACSP section of our public website.
