For ex parte filings, require the entry of the meeting date
At present there is no simple way for the Commission staff or outsiders to see if an ex parte filing was timely since the date of the meeting is in the text only. For filings subject to 1.1206(b)(2) the ECFS entry form should require the filer to state the date of the oral ex parte contact and automatically flag late ones for both the staff and the public.
If there is an explanation, let the filer state so in the filing.
