Re: Concerns about individual submissions process (c.f. RFC5647 AES-GCM for Secure Shell)

Nicolas,

As Brian notes, the formal messages go out on ietf-announce. However, I 
think all the ADs sponsoring individual documents attempt to reach the 
right audience. This includes personally reminding key contributors, 
forwarding the last call announcement to a mailing list if one is still 
known, etc. We also say so in our published procedures:

Of course, its also easy to forget to do this in the midst of all other 
things that are going on.
