Subject: Planning for IETF-50

From: [email-masked]
Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2001 10:58:15 -0500

The deadline for draft submission prior to the Minneapolis
meeting is 23 February at 5pm EST.  Please note, however, 
that the IETF does the bulk of its work via email discussions.
Note, as well, that the meetings are not for technology
presentations but rather for face time to resolve outstanding
issues.  What should be inferred from this is that the
meeting deadlines should probably not be regarded as having
some necessary relationship to progression of the deliverables.
For those who have material that they feel needs attention in 
Minneapolis, it would be useful to get your drafts in early 
enough for us to be able to get a handle on what the outstanding 
issues are in advance of the meeting.

Many thanks,
