The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by May 19, 1998.

It's really nice that the IETF/IESG always manages to find deadlines just before or in between a RIPE meeting. Ignorance or intention ?-( Could please RIPE make an official note on that !?

We could decide to not schedule anything anytime during or within two weeks before a RIPE meeting, an IETF meeting, the interim meeting of any IETF working group, meetings of ITU, ANSI, or ISO Study Groups, meetings of APNIC, ARIN, APRICOT, NANOG, the IEEE Communications Society, ACM SIGCOMM, InterOp, and similar organization. I believe the net effect would be that all work was accomplished on Christmas Morning, since all such groups sensibly manage to miss that date. :^) :^) :^) On reflection, I think you'll agree that such scheduling is np-hard, and is not a reasonable expectation. You have the standard two weeks to reply, and if you need more, you could advise the AD in question (which would, I believe, be Thomas Narten) that you will need a little more time and tell him when you expect to get your comments to him. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0.
