Well, this is mildly irritating. Had a bunch of warnings about drafts expiring: *** IETF Secretariat <ietf-secretariat-reply@xxxxxxxx> To draft-wood-tsvwg-saratoga@xxxxxxxx Oct 19 at 10:42 PM The following draft will expire soon: Name: draft-wood-tsvwg-saratoga Title: Saratoga: A Scalable Data Transfer Protocol State: I-D Exists Expires: 2015-10-20 (in 19 hours, 17 minutes) *** Drafts were expiring sometime on the 20th of October (in, one presumes, the US, because no timezone was given, and the IETF is very much a US organisation. I live in Australia, no timezone for expiry time given on these emails.) So I refreshed the draft ready to do the necessary six-month accounting. Only to discover that I-D submission had already closed at midnight UTC on the 19th because of the upcoming IETF meeting. Which wasn't mentioned in the email. Why not state the earlier submission deadline as well as a hard limit? Why aren't timezones stated? Bravo for https://datatracker.ietf.org/submit/ stating timezones, if not consistently. Please file lack of timezones and lack of consideration of early submission deadlines as a bug. thanks Lloyd Wood http://about.me/lloydwood
