Hi, Roger:
How about setting up an automatic document number issuing system to avoid number collision?
It was a quite painful experience when many people were uploading contributions simultaneously. Imagine that one had to look at an unused number first, then put in the word document, convert to pdf file, by the time finishing the conversion and uploading the document, you found out that someone just uploaded a contribution with the same number. We had to start all over again.
I believe most people have intention to follow the rules.
Regards,
Peiying Zhu

Subject: [STDS-802-16] TGe contributions filed
I have filed the TGe contributions:
http://ieee802.org/16/tge/#Contributions
There are indeed a lot: 122 so far.
Some notes:
*This time, I have filed only the most recent revision.
*There were a number of duplicate numbers. The server doesn't allow duplicate file names, but too many people still ignore the file and document numbering rules, so we can end up with collisions. In these cases, I have sometimes needed to renumber documents to the top of the stack. Some document numbers are therefore a long way from the one they were submitted with. This may cause problems in interpreting comments. It looks like I will need to become a lot more strict about the contribution process; perhaps I'll simply reject documents that don't follow the process.
*As Brian said earlier, we are not accepting multiple rounds of document revisions in Recirc #14b. You are entitled to make a SINGLE revision of your contribution, taking reply comments into account, between July 2 and July 7. Additional revisions will NOT be accepted.
