Rick,

The Secretariat is almost certainly better at reading minds than 
I am, but I don't quite understand what you want here.   On what 
I think of as the "main meeting page" 
(http://www.ietf.org/meetings/IETF-56.html for this meeting), 
there is a link called "Important Meeting Dates".  It leads to a 
page that has these dates, and the registration cutoffs, etc., 
on it.  Do you think we need:

	(i) To change "Important Meeting Dates" to "Important
	Meeting Dates, including I-D cutoffs"?
	
	(ii) To move some or all of those dates onto the main
	meeting page?  That ought to be possible since neither
	the main meeting page or the referenced one are very
	long.
	
	(iii) To put a note onto the cutoff dates page
	(http://www.ietf.org/meetings/cutoff_dates_56.html) that
	contains all of the prohibitions, threats, and
	explanations about what happens if one misses the
	deadline and when documents can next be submitted from
	the mailing list announcement?   That information hasn't
	changed for years, but it probably should be easier for
	the new and/or forgetful to find.

Just trying to clarify... I don't have any strong opinions about 
this.
