Ron,
Fine to make these updates to the Finisher MIB and republish as an I-D.
But I have a question about the progress of the Finisher MIB:
The Finisher MIB had finished Last Call in December and you said on Dec 7
(attached after this message) that you would request the IESG to publish the
I-D as an RFC as soon as the "Printer MIB was ready".
What's going on with the Printer MIB? More than two months have elapsed!
Thanks,
Tom

>>>I have placed an updated finisher MIB on the PWG server at:
>>ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fin/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-printm>ib-finishing-08.txt
>>This document has several editorial changes:
>> 1. Added the conformance statement for RFC2026 to the "Status of this
> Memo" (Now required for new submissions)
>> 2. Changed the syntax of finSupplyMediaInputDimUnit from
> prtCapacityUnitTC to prtMediaUnitTC. (The old syntax contains all
> the TC's that are in prtMediaUnitTC, but also has value
>that are not
> appropriate to media. Since the proper TC is defined it
>is best to
> change.)
>> 3. Changed the examples in finSupplyMediaInputMediaName to be more
> appropriate to a finisher. (was "Examples are Print Job Output A,
> Triple A Billing Statements or ISO standard names.")
>> 4. Removed repeated text in finSupplyMediaInputMediaType. (was "The
> name of the type of the type of.." Changed to "The name
>of the type
> of..."
>>I have also sent this new draft to the IETF.
