[vip] Note LC deadline for draft-ietf-appsawg-rfc3536bis (was: [arabic-vip] Suggested meta-questions to think about)

[Andrew Sullivan]

I'm replying to myself in order to change the subject: line, which I
foolishly failed to do before.  But given the deadline for last call
comments (on Thursday), I thought it important to raise this issue to
as high a prominence as possible.

Best,

A
