By way of this message, I am asking Lisa Dusseault, the Area Director,<br>
to outline the procedures for Working Group Last Call. Once these<br>
procedures are complete, I plan to submit the finalized documents to<br>
the Area Director along with a brief cover letter outlining our work<br>
for presentation to the IESG. The IESG will either authorize the<br>
documents to enter IETF Last Call or return them to the Area Director<br>
(and implicitly to me as working group chair) for revision.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>It is customary to do a Working Group Last Call, as part of determining Working Group consensus for the documents. Vint has asked for new issues during this WGLC, and has indicated over the past year a number of issues that the WG has closed (already come to consensus on). Posting overall impressions of the current state of documents can be useful during this time as part of demonstrating consensus.<br>
<br>After WG consensus is determined, the documents would go to me for Area Director review (though I've been following closely all along), then I send the documents to IETF Last Call as required by RFC2026, and finally for IESG Approval. <br>
<br>Thanks for your contributions & reviews, <br></div></div>Lisa<br><br>
