Deployment of the Internet-Draft Submission Tool

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

Hi,

Fed up with waiting one or two days for your I-D submissions to be posted?

The new tool below seems to work fine.

The only things to be aware of are:
- It checks for nits
- It requires that you include creation and expiry stamps such as
 Created: September 24, 2007
 Expires: March 24, 2008                                       
- If you want to fix the nits yourself, you should cancel the submission
  and come back later.

Cheers,
Adrian

Subject: Deployment of the Internet-Draft Submission Tool 

The IETF Secretariat is pleased to announce the deployment of the
Internet-Draft Submission Tool (IDST)-Phase I.  The IDST is a Web-based
application that will allow an IETF participant to submit an
Internet-Draft online, obtain approval to post the draft (if necessary),
and make the draft immediately available to the community on the IETF
Web site without the assistance of the Secretariat (in most cases).

The URL for the IDST is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi

The URL for instructions for using the IDST is:
http://www.ietf.org/idsubmit_instructions.html

Although it will still be possible to submit your drafts by e-mail
(i.e., by sending them to internet-drafts@ietf.org), the tool is
available for use effective immediately, and we encourage you to submit
your drafts via the tool starting today.

If you have any questions about using the tool or wish to report a bug,
then please send a message to idst-developers@ietf.org.

Enjoy!!

The IETF Secretariat
