hi Harald, this sometimes doesnt work. for example, I submitted a 00 version working group draft on Oct 18 draft at 2 am (PST). I dont think the WG chair could have stayed up that late to send out the draft for me before the submissin deadline (6 am PST). :) I prefer just cc'ing the WG chairs when

Hi. Summary: Four weeks? When we sometimes run only three months between meetings? Some years ago, the secretariat and IESG agreed on an I-D posting deadline about a week before IETF began, in the hope of getting all submitted drafts posted before WGs needed them for review and discussion.
