RE: More lost drafts?
I always considered the posting of draft notices for personal drafts on anything but the announce list to be a courtesy of the Secretariate, not something they were required to do. I've had about a 2/3 success rate on it over the years. But, if it is of any real importance to have the notice on the other list(s), it's no big deal to checked and post it yourself if the Secretariate didn't.

Dear all,
Regarding sending drafts, I noticed another inefficiency (or change in
policies ?): several authors have told me that there (personal) drafts
have not been notified on the WG ML they were supposed to be announced,
although they explicy told the secretariat to do so.
Just wondering if anyone has noticed this.
