Charter for Working Group

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.

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.
