Is it known there are only 5?) It is not known that there are only 5. I did sample the id-announcement list around the known 5, without finding additional examples of announced drafts which are not in the archives, but that's not really conclusive. If your drafts have still not appeared in the drafts archive, I'd suggest sending a note to ietf-action, giving the names of your drafts, and requesting information about their posting (or not) to the archives. Cc: me if you like. Regards, Henrik _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
