Having seen this from both sides of the fence, I think it's very hard
to avoid occasional glitches of this nature. I can never say when
my review will be done - and I send it in immediately that it is done.
We try to get them to Russ ASAP, but in practice we have only 2 or 3
working days between the review assignments and when Russ needs
them. Sometimes, they come in late, but it's unpredictable.

Our standard review boilerplate says:

"Please wait for direction from your document shepherd
 or AD before posting a new version of the draft."

In practice, that means: don't update the draft until after
the IESG telechat, so that all IESG comments can be handled
simultaneously. Remember that Gen-ART is reviewing on behalf
of the General AD - if Russ decides that the reviewer's
comments are unimportant, he'll ballot No Objection.
