A note on timeliness.

It does nobody any good when WG participants keep their thoughts to
themselves.

Unfortunately, these comments are no longer particularly timely.  This
document has been a working group item for several years.

The most recent version was published in July, 2003

On July 24th of this year, I sent a message saying, in part:

   This message marks the start of a two week WORKING GROUP LAST CALL on

      Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange for the SSH Transport Layer Protocol
                  draft-ietf-secsh-dh-group-exchange-04.txt

   prior to review by the IETF and IESG for publication as a Proposed
   Standard.  
 
   Please send comments to ietf-ssh%netbsd.org@localhost by August 8th, 2003.

While clearing the backlog of email prior to the past week's IETF
meeting, I realized that I had dropped the ball here -- the WG last
call had timed out and that I hadn't forwarded the document on to the
IESG; I passed it up on November 9th and it's now in the AD's hands..
