    Just to clarify things -- at the end of September, are you beginning a
    Working Group last call, or are you submitting the protocol document to the
    IESG, who, as part of their approval process, hold a two week last call?
    I'm guessing the former (a working group last call), but your message was a
    little ambiguous, so I wanted to double-check.

    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.
