There are two (2) Internet-Draft cutoff dates for the 71st IETF Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, USA: February 18th: Cutoff Date for Initial (i.e., version -00) Internet-Draft Submissions All initial Internet-Drafts (version -00) must be submitted by Monday, February 18th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT).The only exception is for version -00 WG drafts that replace existing non-WG drafts. Such drafts may be submitted until the cutoff date for version -01 and higher drafts. As always, all initial submissions with a filename beginning with "draft-ietf" must be approved by the appropriate WG Chair before they can be processed or announced. The Secretariat would appreciate receiving WG Chair approval by Monday, February 11th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT). February (14:00 UTC/GMT): Cutoff Date for Revised (i.e., version -01 and higher) Internet-Draft Submissions All revised Internet-Drafts (version -01 and higher) must be submitted by Monday, February 25th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT). Initial and revised Internet-Drafts received after their respective cutoff dates will not be made available in the Internet-Drafts directory or announced until on or after Monday, March 10th at 9:00 AM ET (13:00 UTC/GMT), when Internet-Draft posting resumes. Please do not wait until the last minute to submit. The Secretariat encourages you to submit your Internet-Drafts via the Internet-Draft Submission Tool (IDST) https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi. If you are unable to do so, then you may still submit your Internet- Drafts manually by sending them to internet-drafts@ietf.org. If you are submitting a version -00 WG draft that replaces non-WG draft, then you must submit it manually as the current IDST cannot handle replacements. Please be sure to state that one draft replaces another in the cover note that accompanies your submission. Also, please note that the IDST will not accept drafts submitted after their respective cutoff dates. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, then please send a message to internet-drafts@ietf.org.
