A while back in the working group I asked people to provide data showing
the efficacy of ARC. The response was crickets. What I see now is a bunch
of hand waving but again, no data that can be evaluated. I am not against
ARC but it needs to be evaluated on its own merits. It is a separate
document and should not be conflated with DMARC. I'll also point out that
WGLC is the inappropriate time to throw something new in the hopper, "just
because".

Again, WGLC is not the appropriate time to start throwing out new and
undocumented proposals.

My response to your statement "... this thread makes it seem like we're not
putting forward a complete solution." is a complete solution to what? It
seems like people are trying to throw in everything but the kitchen sink,
including new proposals and rehashing old issues that were supposedly
settled, as we go through last call.
