consultations before they can file. It should be easy to distinguish between people who missed the deadline by an hour or two (or four) and people who cooked up comments after the deadline or sent them in as reply comments to people who already filed.

comments coming in short after the deadline - which in many cases happened already at ICANN. So I'm inclined to slightly soften the text to be posted in the following way:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
