Although we are now a week past the deadline, I'd like to call an official end to the last call for comments on draft-ietf-webdav-protocol-06.txt. This *does not* mean you should stop discussion on current active threads on the mailing list. In particular, there are still active discussions on: - semantics of copy - behavior of move on locks - potential for lost updates with non-locking clients I'd like to see these threads come to a speedy conclusion. Also, in general, criticism and discussion of the WebDAV spec. is always welcome on the list. But, in the interest of making progress, comments on the -06 spec. made from this point forward (with the exception of ongoing threads) will very likely not impact the -07 spec. Due to the significance and number of revisions to the -06 draft, there will certainly be an -07 draft, and another, two week last call period. This was expected. The Design Team is currently aiming for a release of the -07 draft next week. I anticipate the -07 draft will not require major revisions, and this will indeed be the final last call. After the last call on the -07 draft ends, there will most likely be an -08 draft, which will contain minor corrections from the last call. I anticipate calling for rough consensus on this -08 draft, in April. My sincere thanks go out to all of the reviewers of the -06 specification. Your diligence and comments have greatly strengthened the language and understanding of the specification, and have made this last call period an emphatic success. - Jim Whitehead Chair, IETF WebDAV Working Group
