For those concerned with IRIS, please take time to review the 
documents listed at the bottom of this page:
   http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/crisp-charter.html

RFCs 3981, 3982, 3983 represent the review of the entire IETF 
(tacitly by most).  Although these are "permanent" documents, it is 
never too late to read and comment on them.  Revisions happen.

The document for the RIR's (ARIN, et.al.) hasn't completed its 
review, it can be seen at:
  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-crisp-iris-areg-09.txt
and there's a related draft at:
  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-crisp-iris-areg-urires-00.txt

It's never too late to comment on a protocol, although it maybe too 
late to comment on a document. ;)
