The IETF Secretariat is pleased to announce the deployment of the Internet-Draft Submission Tool (IDST)-Phase I. The IDST is a Web-based application that will allow an IETF participant to submit an Internet-Draft online, obtain approval to post the draft (if necessary), and make the draft immediately available to the community on the IETF Web site without the assistance of the Secretariat (in most cases). The URL for the IDST is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi The URL for instructions for using the IDST is: http://www.ietf.org/idsubmit_instructions.html Although it will still be possible to submit your drafts by e-mail (i.e., by sending them to internet-drafts@ietf.org), the tool is available for use effective immediately, and we encourage you to submit your drafts via the tool starting today. If you have any questions about using the tool or wish to report a bug, then please send a message to idst-developers@ietf.org. Enjoy!!
