The P3P Specification Working Group has issued a new Last Call Working Draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-P3P-20010924/ and of course also http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/ This is a revision of the 15 December 2000 Candidate Recommendation Draft. Due to substantive changes based on feedback from implementers, the Working Group has agreed to return this draft to Last Call to invite comments and input from W3C Members and the community at large. A change log with a summary of the modifications occurred from the 15 December 2000 Candidate Recommendation is included at the end of this document for convenience. Because these changes are based on solid implementation experience, the P3P Specification Group maintains all the Candidate Recommendation milestones and expects to request Proposed Recommendation after all those milestones and comments from this Last Call are properly addressed. The last call review period ends 15 October 2001. Please send review comments before the review period ends to www-p3p-public-comments@w3.org (publicly archived). Please note that we have previously announced these changes to the P3P public developer mailing lists. Now they are all folded into the specification itself. Web sites should update their P3P policies and policy reference files to conform to the new specification. In most cases the changes will be very minor. We expect that new versions of some of the P3P policy editors will be available very soon that will produce the new format. You should be able to load in your old policy and produce a new one automatically. Most P3P user agent developers have reported that their user agents will be able to read both the old and new formats right now. However, we expect new releases of user agents may not support the old format.
