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-07. This last call period began on Friday, November 9, 2001, and ended December 3, 2001. The message starting the last call was: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2001OctDec/0178.html While the last call period has ended, you may still submit comments on the -07 (or later) revision of the specification. My best estimate for the completion of a new revision of draft-ietf-webdav-acl is December 7 (this Friday). As well, due to the IETF meeting, a new Internet-Draft can not be submitted until the end of this meeting (December 17), 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. My characterization of the comments received during this last call period is that fixing them requires generally minor changes to the specification. This leads me to believe that the specification has, in fact, resolved known technical tradeoffs, and is stable. As a result, unless feedback to the contrary is received from the Minneapolis IETF meeting, I intend on submitting the next revision (draft-ietf-webdav-acl-08) to the IESG for approval as a Proposed Standard. There will be no further last call for comments period within the working group, although there is one last IETF-wide call for comments that will occur, initiated by the IESG. - Jim
