Other concerns raised during IETF LC may lead to revised I-Ds, which the ADs will need to re-read (or at least look at the diff). I don't know how significant this extra work would be, but it would come at a time that we're thinking of ways to reduce AD workload. It might also require prolonging the LC time, because there would be actual discussion in it. > > If they raise the issue later in a "discuss", will they not have to do this anyway? How does this relate to the timing of the comment or the vehicle by which it is conveyed? If you review early, you later might feel like you need to review again, because the document has changed some. Hence - more work. Yoav
