   Title:   Reclassifying ARC as Historic

Abstract:

   This document calls for a conclusion to the experiment defined by
   “The Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) Protocol” [RFC8617], and
   recommends that ARC no longer be deployed or relied upon between
   disparate senders and receivers.  The document summarizes what ARC
   set out to do, reports on operational experience, and explains how
   the experience gained during the experiment is being incorporated
   into the proposed DKIM2 work as the successor to DomainKeys
   Identified Mail [RFC6376].  To avoid any future confusion, it is
   therefore requested that ARC [RFC8617] be reclassified as “Historic”.
