Remaining Drafts In Detail 
Patrik Faltstrom: IESG wants to close the working group.  Outstanding documents
(a) is a WG needed for  the documents
(b) if  multiple vendors will implement

ACL Model
 * Recommend that it be taken off of the charter and perhaps be moved to 
   experimental 
 * will ask on the list before final decision

Java API
 * iPlanet & Novell have both implemented
 * probably doesn't need to be a WG item; probably should be progressed to 
   proposed standard
 * will ask on the list

Locate Draft
 * Roland Hedberg feels that this draft should be WG LC'ed as it is with an eye
   toward taking it toward proposed standard.
 * The following IESG last call will give security area folks a change to 
   raise issues if they exist.
 * RL Bob Morgan feels that we should just go to IETF-wide last call.

Taxonomy Draft
 * Will follow path of Locate draft.

Named Ref Draft
 * Issues raised in previous LC have been addressed.  Some significant changes 
   occurred as a result.

LDAPUDP Draft
 * We will take this to experimental status as an individual submission.
 * No comments on the list recently.

Question: is IRTF doing any directory research?  Answer: none that anyone 
present is aware of.

Conclusion
 * IETF ldapext WG will likely conclude.  This will be the final meeting of the
   WG.

ACL -08 (Rob Byrne)
 * authentication levels added; opinions vary, but Rob feels this is more 
   manageable
 * decision algorithm is more formal
 * fixed getEffectiveRights
 * IP addresses can be used to deny access when other ACI is also available

Planned changes for -09
 * clarification of rename behavior
 * correction to ABNF for ipAddress

Comments:
 * groups/role expansion will be clarified
 * no change in authnlevls versus mechanisms
 * ip address subjects - no change
 * ACM too complex; will remove 't' and 'p' permissions
 * removal of subentries
   * will remove the ldapACISubentry for an attribute in rootDSE
 * equality matching of ACI
   * no change: continue using comp matching
 * support for controls
   * will propose a way to express required permissions for controls and 
     extended ops
