This could be WG chair approved too, i.e., WG chairs provide a list
of IDs that are permitted to be submitted that are involved in the
IESG process (but only ones that have gone through their first IESG meeting).
Not that many per WG should be in this state during any one (normal
blackout) period.
Just a thought

Soooo,
How come I-Ds don't expire after publication has been requested?
Could this be a field in the data base that could be accessed to
allow continued submission of revisions regardless of cut-off dates?
Well, if it is too hard or needs many hours of volunteer time, the
answer is obvious.

Adrian:
This has been discussed many times, and there is no easy way for
the Secretariat to distinguish these document from others. With
the on-line Internet-Draft Submission Tool (IDST), it might be
possible to search the database for such documents and let them
through. However, we're trying to get the existing functionality
working first. Frankly, we'd need a volunteer to write the code
for this to be done anytime soon.

Hi,
The cut-off period before IETF meetings has (IMHO) some value to
help people read an digest stable documents that will be discussed
face-to-face.
However, some I-Ds are beyond WG last call and are going through
other review cycles. Why should updates to these be barred?
For example, I have an I-D that has just completed IESG review.
The updates are relatively simple and I would like to submit them
and get the IESG to clear their Discusses. Apparently I cannot do
this until July 27th. can anyone see a reason why this should be the case?
Cheers,
Adrian
