If we recharter this Working Group people will want to evaluate ARC
according to the criteria in RFC 8617 Section 11, and those are pretty
loose. Success only requires "improved decision making when processing
legitimate messages," while failure requires "introducing significant
new vectors for abuse." The odds for achieving consensus in six months
do not look great...
I have come to bury ARC, not to praise it. I advise taking option #2,
and moving 8617 to Historical because nobody has treated it as an
experiment and compiled the data in the _six and a half years_ since it
was published. (Myself included, /mea culpa/.) Murray decided the DMARC
WG had to end after 10 years - this seems like a similar scenario for an
AD to act. The proposed I-D is very nice work and should be published as
an Independent Submission in support.
To leave it to the DKIM WG, if the task is within their existing
charter, it would seem strange to be coming from a different WG unless
they could show that the DKIM2 protocol was producing better results.
I'm sure it will, but that will take time, and I infer they don't want
to wait that long.
So, I suggest Option #2 (AD action or other).
--Steve.
