A possible approach would be to use the cutoff dates as deadlines
for drafts to be placed on the WG agenda - i.e. allow automated
posting to continue unabated, but only allow "late" drafts to be
discussed in the meeting if so agreed during agenda-bashing.
I certainly think that having a couple of weeks to read drafts
is desirable. One week including intercontinental travel is
very short.
