In fact, we only have two points of contentions: old personal drafts submitted as version 00 of WG drafts; and old WG drafts submitted as version 00 of new personal drafts. The first scenario is easily taken care off by granting an exemption for the cut off date. The secretariat is already supposed to ask WG chair approval for WG drafts, and WG drafts almost never are "first drafts"; we could easily tell the secretariat that WG drafts are subject to the same deadline as version N+1 drafts. The second scenario requires being a little bit more proactive. Keeping the version number while changing the prefix is probably a good idea. -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
