While getting a flood of papers on the day before the meeting is 
problematic, I would rather have someone send a paper to the server a 
week before the meeting rather than holding it until after the meeting 
starts.  So I would not be opposed, as a general policy, to changing the 
paper deadline to 1 week before the meeting start.
