We could decide to not schedule anything anytime during or within two weeks
before a RIPE meeting, an IETF meeting, the interim meeting of any IETF
working group, meetings of ITU, ANSI, or ISO Study Groups, meetings of
APNIC, ARIN, APRICOT, NANOG, the IEEE Communications Society, ACM SIGCOMM,
InterOp, and similar organization. I believe the net effect would be that
all work was accomplished on Christmas Morning, since all such groups
sensibly manage to miss that date.

On reflection, I think you'll agree that such scheduling is np-hard, and is
not a reasonable expectation. You have the standard two weeks to reply, and
if you need more, you could advise the AD in question (which would, I
believe, be Thomas Narten) that you will need a little more time and tell
him when you expect to get your comments to him.
