Should DMARC-bis reference ARC? I don't know; can it? What I mean by that is that some of us have an interest in DMARC-bis being published as Standards track, and ARC is Experimental, and I don't fully understand the rules regarding down-referencing (is that the right term?).

This would be fine:

"One possible mitigation to problem X is [ARC], which provides for a mechanism to demonstrate 'chain-of-custody' of a message. However, use of ARC is nascent, as is industry experience with it in connection with DMARC."


I'd insert a third paragraph in section 5.8, Policy Enforcement Considerations, after the 2nd paragraph, which explains not to blindly reject. Let me try and expand the text above:

    One possible source of alternative knowledge is [ARC], which provides for
    a mechanism to demonstrate 'chain-of-custody' of a message.  However, use
    of ARC requires extra care in understanding its implications, as industry
    experience with it in connection with DMARC is still being gathered.
