(no complaints about the actual response or service, but they did seem quite busy) Yes, except that I do see complaints, of I-Ds appearing after a cutoff, with the explanation being that there has been a delay of some days from submission to announcement, so the I-Ds were submitted before the cutoff but appeared after. Which suggests that the system gets overloaded And this is a minor problem. As suggested in another post, the cutoff is a good time to do a trawl, especially of unadopted I-Ds which may not have been mentioned on the list, of all announced I-Ds to catch any that I have missed. On balance, the cutoff is a good thing.
