The WG Last Call period is 2 weeks. It closes on December 6.
If you have "last comments", please send them to our ML by that time.

Abstract
This specification provides a way to request timely completion for
Internet mail delivery, for services such as facsimile and voice
messaging. Traditional Internet mail uses a _postal_ mail model,
with normal delivery having an indeterminate gap between delivery
into a mailbox and processing by the recipient. Timely completion
adds a timelines service feature and extends delivery processing
all the way to the recipient. This specification provides a
deterministic service quality response, while preserving most of
the traditional roles and responsibilities of the agents involved
in email transfers.
It is essentially a profile of the Delivery Service Notification
(DSN) and DELIVERBY extensions for ESMTP, along with a new TIMELY
option to DELIVERBY with a new deterministic service quality
response.
