(It's actually more like "late March" :-)

In general, IETF practice is relatively liberal about slides being
modified until the very last moment, although it's nice to have them
uploaded so that remote attendees can browse them while following the
presentation over audio streaming.

If you/we want to submit an Internet-Draft for discussion, the cut-off
dates are 7 March for initial contributions (-00 drafts), and 14 March
for revisions. (http://www.ietf.org/meeting/cutoff-dates-2011.html).

Earlier is always better, of course.

No ideas on how to reach the IEEE audience, I'm more of an ACM type
myself.  IETF is probably not bad, because it has some overlap with the
IEEE network community.
