A Working Draft is a document that W3C has published for review by the community, including W3C Members, the public, and other technical organizations. These are draft documents and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C working drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress".

Working Drafts in Last Call

A Working Group's Last Call announcement is a signal that:

the Working Group believes that it has satisfied its relevant technical requirements (e.g., of the charter or requirements document) in the Working Draft;
the Working Group believes that it has satisfied significant dependencies with other groups;
other groups should review the document to confirm that these dependencies have been satisfied.

The duration of the last call review period is listed in the status section of the document in review.
