When I was on the IESG, there was always a mad dash to complete work on Internet-Drafts before the end of the term, and those documents got done. I'd suggest that it's the responsibility of the Council to complete its tasks and of the authors to make the necessary changes. Although XEP-0001 talks about restarting Last Calls and such, that's a bit strange. But in any case, we should follow our rules here - and, if we don't like the rules we've set, have a separate conversation about that. Peter
