Here is an excerpt from the meeting minutes I sent to Larry. My notes confirm what you recall. 1 301-302 Problems with redirecting requests. Josh Cohen reported on the conclusions reached in the offline discussion about this issue. The general conclusion reached was that the text in the -08 draft should be changed, either by swapping the 302 and 303 codes, or by allocating a new code and declaring 302 obsolete. The swapping option was preferred. It was decided to send mail to the list soon, proposing the preferred solution, so that this issue could be closed. Yaron Goland urged the working group to close this issue quickly. Note that is was not decided, as far as I recall, *who* should send the message referred to above to the list. I have not seen such a message yet. > - Jim Koen.
