> Abstract:
>    Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) permits an organization which is
>    creating or handling email to indicate their involvement with the
>    handling process by adding a cryptographicly signed header (or
>    headers) in a manner analagous to that of DomainKeys Identified Mail
>    (DKIM).  Assertion of responsibility is validated through a
>    cryptographic signature and by querying the Signer's domain directly
>    to retrieve the appropriate public key.  Changes in the message which
>    may break DKIM, may be tracked through the ARC set of headers.

and, its accompanying usage recommendations:

> Abstract:
>    The Authentication Results Chain (ARC) provides a means to preserve
>    email authentication results and verify the identity of email message
>    handlers, each of which participates by inserting certain headers
>    before passing the message on.  But the specification does not
>    indicate how intermediaries and receivers should interpret or utilize
>    ARC.  This document will provide guidance in these areas.

Will look forward to feedback from any interested parties.
