Re: [webfinger] New WebFinger Draft posted

Folks - 

The last DISCUSS has finally been cleared!! A new version (-18) will be published in the next few days addressing the final minor edits that came from this final round of IESG review.  This is a final plea to please review the document (particularly the new Section 8 and sub-sections 10.3 and 10.4) to ensure that you agree with us that everything is in order and the document is in fact ready to go to the RFC Editor for publication.

As we get through this final hurdle, I'm reminded to thank all of you for your continued dedication throughout this long (and sometimes arduous) journey.
