1) Allow the Secretariat time to post all on-time submissions;
As I recall, this was the primary reason for originally imposing the limit.
That is why I explicitly stated the requirement that automated I-D
processing be supported.
2) Allow for some time to read the IDs before the meeting.
A working group can decide what the limit for this. As with so many other
potential abuses by a working group, the cognizant AD can decide when the
working group is misbehaving on this matter.
Note:
I think folks often miss the costs of specifying particular
procedures. Having an approval hierarchy is an enormously expensive design
and we have ADs that are already vastly overworked. (The Secretariat also
is not exactly twiddling its thumbs.)
