Re: [Tools-discuss] tooling: Change of address Q.

Ah, ok...

Algo sounds ok.  Thanks for explaining.

I think the last collaborators where i had the problem might not have/had
datatracker accounts. Luckily th next one will be fine then wrt to this issue.

Guess there is still the problem of one not being able to update one's
own draft without help from others after having changed affiliations and
hence not being able to validate the dataracker upload approval email
on the old email. Or is there an algo for that as well ?

Cheers
