The IESG has received a request from the Messaging Abuse Reporting Format WG (marf) to consider the following document: - 'Creation and Use of Email Feedback Reports: An Applicability Statement for the Abuse Reporting Format (ARF)' <draft-ietf-marf-as-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-04-24. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract RFC 5965 defines an extensible, machine-readable format intended for mail operators to report feedback about received email to other parties. This Applicability Statement describes common methods for utilizing this format for reporting both abuse and authentication failure events. Mailbox Providers of any size, mail sending entities, and end users can use these methods as a basis to create procedures that best suit them. Some related optional mechanisms are also discussed. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-marf-as/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-marf-as/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. There is a downward reference to Informational document RFC 5598.
