This message marks the end of the WebDAV Working Group last call for comments on the WebDAV Access Control Protocol specification, draft-ietf-webdav-acl-06. This last call period began on Thursday, June 21, 2001, and ended July 29, 2001. The message starting the last call was: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001AprJun/0313.html While the last call period has ended, you may still submit comments on the -06 (or later) revision of the specification. My best estimate for the completion of a new revision of draft-ietf-webdav-acl is August 27th, so any comments submitted before that time would be easily incorporated into the next revision. Note that with the end of the last call period, the burden of evidence required to effect a significant design change in the protocol is now much greater. There were several comments on this specification -- kudos to Stefan, Keith, Tim, Peter and Alan for their thorough review. Stefan Eissing: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-June/000591.html Stefan Eissing: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-July/000595.html Keith Wannamaker: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-July/000599.html Keith Wannamaker: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-July/000602.html Stefan Eissing: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-July/000605.html Tim Ellison: http://mailman.webdav.org/pipermail/acl/2001-July/000611.html Peter Raymond: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001JulSep/0036.html Alan Kent: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001JulSep/0006.html While many of these comments will result in modifications to the specification, these changes will not, in my opinion, be significant design modifications. As a result, it is my opinion as Chair that this document does not need another Working Group last call for comments period when draft-ietf-webdav-acl-07 is released (the -07 draft is the next revision). My plan is to revise the -06 specification accoridng to comments received during last call, and then give a few days for the commentors to read the new specification and make sure their issues have been addressed. Once this is done, draft-ietf-webdav-acl-07 will be submitted as an I-D. At this time I will also forward it to the Application Area Directors for their comments, and for eventual consideration by the IESG as a Standards Track RFC. In plain English: the next draft is very likely to be the last one before this specification is approved as a Proposed Standard (the first rung on the IETF standards track). - Jim
