 We will start each week's meeting with this announcement.

 All new errata from Marcel have been addressed.
 ACL chapter update had final updates applied from AD round of edits on 5661.

+ Knocking off high priority items

Looking to get closure on the following:
4) Courtesy locks - Dave
9) Clarify passage on NFS4ERR_LOCKS_HELD - Dave
43) Empty paths in fs_locations/fs_locations_info - Trond
35) OPEN_DOWNGRADE and posix byte range - Trond

+ Interim meeting

Plan is to have 3530bis done either by the Interim meeting or IETF 80.

We talked about two outstanding issues:

1) AUTH_SYS handling of uids and gids - a discussion brought up on the Linux mailing
list, ease of upgrade from NFSv3 to NFSv4.

2) LEASE_MOVED error handling - the client has to probe every filesystem on the server
to determine which one moved.

a) In NFSv4.2, we can add a callback to handle this
b) In NFSv4.0 and NFSv4.1, the client has to probe
    i) The server could go into grace and force the clients to deal with the issue during this
        process.

Rob is going to look at ways for either the server to identify the client or for the client
to identify itself to the server during such probing.

These issues are going to be proposed for the Interim meeting agenda.
