Cut-off dates for the upcoming 60th IETF meeting

[Gorry Fairhurst <gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

Here are the cut-off dates for the upcoming 60th IETF meeting:

  Mon Jul 12, 0900 EDT: cutoff for initial (-00) I-D submissions
  Mon Jul 19, 0900 EDT: final cutoff for I-D submission

In addition, please note that the I-D boilerplate was updated
recently.  In this context, the following recent announcement from the
IESG is helpful:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The IESG has emitted new versions of the following guideline documents:

"Guidelines to authors of Internet-Drafts"
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt

which has been updated to reflect the new IPR policy RFCs (3667 and 
3668): Note that in this process, we discovered a bug in one of the 
RFCs; the document  contains a temporary fix, but the details of a 
permanent fix are still being worked out on the IPR WG list.

"Checklist for Internet-Drafts submitted for RFC publication"
http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html

This has had a more thorough review/revision, and should be re-read by 
all  participants. Note in particular the new language about IANA 
considerations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use the xml2rfc toolset from http://xml.resource.org/ , you
basically have to upgrade to the most recent version of the tool, and
use the right declarations to select the most suitable variant of
boilerplate.
