    Subject: Plan for Last Call
    
    Good news! The members of the Delta-V design team feel that the WebDAV 
    Versioning Specification has reached the point that it is ready for Last 
    Call. We would like to submit by the end of this month (September). So if 
    you can, give the spec a thorough review and if you have any pressing 
    issues you'd like addressed before last call, let us know within the next 
    week. The duration for last call will be six weeks giving plenty of time 
    for review as well as a few weeks before the December IETF to address any 
    issues that come up. We'll address these issues at a Delta-V working group 
    meeting and design team meetings during the December IETF with the goal to 
    resolve all remaining issues.
    
    I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in producing a quality 
    draft covering a complex subject area. We've got something here that will 
    really make a difference enabling client applications to access resources 
    managed by a number of repository managers. In particular, I'd like to 
    thank Geoff Clemm for his tireless efforts in editing the many drafts, and 
    for his attention to detail and thoughtful explanations of difficult 
    concepts. Thanks to everyone, we've tamed the versioning beast!
    
    So let's all gear up for the big push to get this thing through last call 
    so we can get some implementations in the works and continue our journey 
    down the path of draft proposed standard.
