Unfortunately, once again the back-office support for the change
seems to have suffered, and to still suffer substantially:

The IETF I-D submission tool (as per today) *rejects* uploaded
I-Ds that contain the TLP 4.0 conformant "Copyright Notice" text.

That's a rather unusual 'implementation' of a
"Grace period for old-boilerplate".   :-)

Therefore, once more:
  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE coordinate changes in IETF document
  requirements far enough in advance with the development and
  implementation of the tools in place to support document
  production and submisison.


Kind regards,
  Alfred Hönes.
