Hi Stefan, Believe me, I can fully understand your frustration here because I'm frustrated as well. I wish I knew what to do. I've tried several things over the past year to try to work through roadblocks, and dragged several other people into the process as well trying to solve problems. It's clear to me as well as to others that those attempts have not worked. I'm not sure what I can do besides assure you that I've made those attempts in good faith. I'm sorry they've been failures and have tried to analyze whether they've been inherent failures, or failures in execution. There may not be a way to bring this spec to proposed under the current arrangement. One of the options I've discussed with Ted Hardie and others has been whether it would be possible to form a new WG from scratch to work on WebDAV extensions. Sometimes with a new WG, there's a great opportunity to get commitments from new volunteers, all starting from the same position and not feeling like they have to work to come up to speed with an existing WG. It's also an opportunity to remix roles, and to have fresh discussions about what the priorities are. Lisa
