PKIX WG Specifications

	Simple Certificate Validation Protocol - Trevor Freeman (Microsoft)
 The current draft of SCVP is in WG Last Call, and is believed to be in
 full compliance with RFC 3379. This presentation discussed changes
 since the previous (version 11) draft. Plan is to progress to WG last
 call very soon. [slides]



- Does the last sentence mean IETF last call?

No, the text says WG last call, right?

- After having received at least one complaint (from me),
  Tim Polk announced in the meeting that a new two weeks
  last call period would start after the IETF meeting, the
  reason being that both for participants of the meeting and
  non participants either the travel time or potential discussions
  create some time problems.

yes, Tim and I agreed to extend the last call in response to your observation that the overlap with the IETF meeting caused problems.

- Since non participants of the meeting did not hear this,
  it seems somewhat logical to me to inform the list BEFORE a new
  period starts, so everybody know can know this. I expected
  a mail to the list immediately after the meeting, but maybe
  the chairmen did as me, and left Wien immediately so
  they did not have the chance to send a mail.

I failed to mention this in the minutes because I expected we would send the announcement out sooner, and because I wanted to draw people's attention to the extended last call period, not rely on them to dig it out of the minutes. But, we failed to send the message.

- Not even finding this announcement in the draft minutes is
  more surprising.

see explanation above.


- But: Even if the draft minutes would have reflected it, already
  one week would hae ben gone.

- Therefore I kindly request the chairmen to announce in a
  mail to the list a new beginning of a last call starting
  not less than one full working day in all areas of this
planet, and the period not covering an IETF meeting.

WG last calls begin when we send a message top the list announcing them. We don't pre-announce when a last call will begin, nor does any other WG with which I am familiar.

so, to address the concerns Peter noted, let's reset the clock on the PKIX WG last call on SCVP. The last call will end on Friday, August 8th, slightly more than 2 weeks from today.
