The WEIRD group hasn't authored any drafts so far, since we're developing
web content.
If, for some reason, you'd like to write an internet draft for WEIRD, please
take note of Steve Coya's reminder that the drafts must be submitted by
March 10.
The official March 10 deadline does not apply to the "hot topics" write-ups
some of you are working on for WEIRD. Still, as a courtesy to others who
might want to read the current work on "hot topics" before Adelaide, please
try to get your "hot topics" write-ups in by March 15. I have received an
early write-up on multicast from Kathy Bosovich, and I am working on a draft
on wireless internet, but have not seen any other drafts.
Thanks for all your work! I hope to see some of you in Adelaide.
Regards,
Chris Burke

Greetings,
The cut-off date for Internet-Drafts prior to the IETF meeting in Adelaide
is March 10. We'll be sending out a notice later this week.
We (that is, Natalia) processed over 300 I-D submissions the week
following the DC meeting I-D cutoff. One of the problems encountered was
keeping documents in a special holding queue. There were, of course, the
many -00 submissions of draft-ietf-acronym- filename types.
It was suggested that we require all -00 submissions be sent directly to
the WG chairs (fear not, I explained the reality of things :-).
Believe me, it IS a hassle trying to process all the I-D submissions and
keep track of all those we must hold while waiting for a WG chair to say
ok (or no way).
As such, I'm asking chairs to do their best to quickly respond when
queried about -00 submissions. I would also ask that if the chairs are
copied on the original submission, there is no need to wait for Natalia's
query before responding :-)
If ANYONE has a suggestion on how to we might be able to efficiently
handle initial submissions, please feel free to let me know.
BTW, moving the deadline back YAW is not a good suggestion, albeit
tempting :-)
Thanks.
Steve
