Title: Re: Our deadlines are dizzyingly complex and confusing

Looks to me as if the cut off is start of business for the RFC Editor. That makes sense to me, no matter how much you try to change the cut off you can't make it any later than the point where the editor needs to start work.

 

I would not mind seeing the -00 cutoff moving to the same as the cuttoff for subsequent drafts. At this point we have the automated submission tool and the rationale for the difference is removed somewhat.

 

Make the week earlier -00 cutoff apply to manual processing of -00 drafts.

:-)

OK, guilty. My point was that the cutoff time seemed to be "close of
business, ET", and I was kinda hoping that whatever time we picked would be
"close of business, a little further west" :-)

... especially if we were headed toward using the same cutoff TIME for all
IETF cutoffs (BOF requests, WG meeting requests, registration, ID cutoffs,
etc) ...

Thanks,
