With the posting of -08, it looks to me that all WG Last Call
comments have been resolved. It looks like we have achieved WG rough
consensus.

This message initiates an SMIME Working Group Last Call on the document:
Title : Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)
Version 3.2 Message Specification
Author(s) : B. Ramsdell, S. Turner
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-3851bis-05.txt
Pages : 45
Date : 2008-8-21
This document defines Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)
version 3.2. S/MIME provides a consistent way to send and receive secure
MIME data. Digital signatures provide authentication, message integrity,
and non-repudiation with proof of origin. Encryption provides data
confidentiality. Compression can be used to reduce data size. This
document obsoletes RFC 3851.
A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-3851bis-05.txt
The purpose of this WG Last Call is to ensure that the Working Group has
achieved consensus that the document is suitable for publication as a
Standards Track RFC.
Please review the document for both technical and editorial problems.
Technical issues should be discussed on this list. Editorial issues may be
sent to the document editor.
The Last Call period will end on 8 September 2008.
Upon completion of the last call, the WG chairs will take action based upon
the consensus of the WG. As the authors are also the WG co-chairs, Russ
Housley has offered to make consensus calls and the WG chairs have agreed to
abide by Russ's consensus calls. Possible actions include:
1) recommending to the IETF Security Area Directors
that the document, after possible editorial or
other minor changes, be considered by the IESG
for publication as an Informational RFC
(which generally involves an IETF-wide Last Call); or
2) requiring that outstanding issues be adequately
addressed prior to further action (including,
possibly, another WG Last Call).
Remember that it is our responsibility as Working Group members to ensure
the quality of our documents and of the Internet Standards process. So,
please read and comment!
