<hat type='AD'/>

The HTTPSTATE WG was formed to generate a spec accurately describing the
existing HTTP state management technology ("cookies"). With the
publication of RFC 6265, that work is now complete. Therefore, as your
responsible Area Director I plan to close the HTTPSTATE WG very soon.

I know that some people have expressed interest in working on "next
generation" state management mechanisms. I encourage folks to organize
such efforts on the http-state@ietf.org list or via whatever means they
deem helpful (e.g., side meetings at upcoming IETF meetings). I will ask
the Secretariat to keep this list open for continued discussions.

Thanks and congratulations to the WG on a job well done!

Peter
