I wonder if it wouldn't just be simpler to have the WG chair
submit the -00 document themselves, as a placeholder for the actual
document. This can be done as soon as the WG believes that the should
exist.
That gets rid of the back-and-forth between chair, author and secretariat.

I would like answers to the same question.
I will say that having the rather early deadline means, as a submitter
that I have to get my work done sooner, and this leaves *me* more time
to read documents before the meeting.
(ps: I'm taking the train from Toronto via NYC on Sunday, November
7th. I have a 20 minute allocation to change changes at Penn station,
which I fear that Amtrak won't make. And I am trying to catch the last
train that night to DC. I fear that I'll be sitting in Penn station all
night reading drafts... Any locals got any advice?)
