Subject: REVISED Internet-Draft Submission Cutoff Dates for the
70th IETF Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada
There are two (2) Internet-Draft cutoff dates for the 70th IETF
Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada:
November 12th: Cutoff Date for Initial (i.e., version -00) Internet-
Draft
Submissions
All initial Internet-Drafts (version -00) must be submitted by Monday,
November 12th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT). The only exception is for
version -00 WG drafts that replace existing non-WG drafts. Such
drafts
may be submitted until the cutoff date for version -01 and higher
drafts.
As always, all initial submissions with a filename beginning with
"draft-ietf" must be approved by the appropriate WG Chair before
they can
be processed or announced. The Secretariat would appreciate
receiving WG
Chair approval by Monday, November 5th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT).
November 19th: Cutoff Date for Revised (i.e., version -01 and higher)
Internet-Draft Submissions
All revised Internet-Drafts (version -01 and higher) must be
submitted by
Monday, November 19th at 9:00 AM ET (14:00 UTC/GMT).
Initial and revised Internet-Drafts submitted after their respective
cutoff dates will not be made available in the Internet-Drafts
directory
or announced until on or after Monday, December 3rd at 9:00 AM ET
(14:00
UTC/GMT), when Internet-Draft posting resumes. Please do not wait
until
the last minute to submit.
The Secretariat encourages you to submit your Internet-Drafts via the
Internet-Draft Submission Tool (IDST)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi. If you are unable to
do so,
then you may still submit your Internet-Drafts manually by sending
them to
internet-drafts at ietf.org. If you are submitting a version -00 WG
draft
that replaces non-WG draft, then you must submit it manually as the
current IDST cannot handle replacements. Please be sure to state
that one
draft replaces another in the cover note that accompanies your
submission. Also, please note that the IDST will not accept drafts
submitted after their respective cutoff dates.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any
questions or concerns, then please send a message to
internet-drafts at ietf.org.
