Draft deadlines and exceptions

2 Jul 2015

Before an IETF meeting, we sometimes receive a few requests to extend the deadlines related to Internet Draft submissions.

The deadline is on Monday, July 6th at UTC 23:59 *

I wanted to remind everyone that your Area Directors can help you with submissions, in exceptional cases also after the deadline. Talk to your ADs if you are having problems. Obviously we would still like to see the drafts submitted early so that the rest of us have some time to read them before the meeting.

Looking forward to all those interesting proposals, as well as seeing you in Prague! If you have not signed up to the meeting yet, the registration page is here.

* For your convenience, here is the deadline in some other timezones.
