Re: Should the RFC Editor publish an RFC in less than 2 months?

Only issue I would raise here is don't expire the ID if this situation arises...

If there is an IESG action and an ID folk can read that is going to work for most people.

Don't publish the rfc before the appeals counter expires, there lies all sorts of bad stuff and confusion.

Alexey:

The latter.  If the Auth48 completes before the 60 day appeal timer 
has expired, then the RFC Editor will hold off on publication until 
the 60 days have gone by.

P.S. A document that I wrote was the first document to get snagged in 
this situation.  I guess it is only fair....  It got published yesterday.
