Meeting Goals (1) Rough consensus on requirements for versioning and variant authoring. Generate high-quality feedback on the versioning and variant authoring protocol. Rough consensus on requirements for ordered collections and referential members, so this draft may be revised and go to working group last call.

Meeting Goals (2) Generate high-quality feedback on the advanced collections protocol document. At the end of the meeting, this document should be 2 revisions away from WG last call. Focused discussion on the access control requirements so they can be revised by new editor. Feedback on the design directions in the access control protocol.

Distributed Authoring Protocol - Status Report The Distributed Authoring Protocol specification, <draft-ietf-webdav-protocol-08> is still in-queue, waiting for approval by the IESG.

Comments Received Three comments have been received: IETF Last Call: The text/xml media type should be registered before approval of WebDAV protocol A registration draft for text/xml and application/xml has been generated after significant review from W3C XML SIG and IETF MIME community

Comments Received Two comments from Keith Moore so far: GUID/UUID: WebDAV references Leach/Salz I-D for UUIDs, but ISO DCE RPC standard also defines the same UUIDs. WebDAV should reference the ISO DCE RPC spec. instead. XML Namespace “src” scalability: Since the “src” attribute can be used to retrieve an XML schema, if src is an HTTP URL, this could be a scalability chokepoint. WebDAV should note this concern in the spec.
