Be advised that there are some new topics which will be introduced during the FSG/PWG joint Plenary in Tokyo Wednesday afternoon. One or more of these topics may result in a Wednesday evening BOF if enough interest is expressed during the Plenary. 1. Projector Management BOF   - It has been observed that projector equipment manufactures (ex. LCD projectors) are in a state similar to printer manufactures 10 years ago in that several major projector makers use SNMP for device management but all are using incompatible private MIBs. A standard MIB or, at least, common semantics may be very helpful in the industry. The PWG would be expanding its role into a broader set of "imaging" solutions if we were to host this project. 2. MFD Security Model. One PWG member has express a desire to introduce MFD Security Model concepts. Since the IEEE P2600 has been working in this area we will want to assure the PWG does not embark on a redundant effort. There may be elements of a standards MFD security model which are complimentary to P2600 and/or which belong in the PWG, however. 3. PWG Semantic Model / DMTF CIM mapping. We have been circling the wagons around this work effort but no one has built a campfire yet. Need to evaluate motive, requirements, resources, anticipated benefits etc and develop an action plan 4. Print Number (see Camas minutes <a href=ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/minutes/pwg_plenary_minutes_20050112.pdf>ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/minutes/pwg_plenary_minutes_20050112.pdf</a>.) The Print Number team (from China) indicated they may attend Tokyo but I haven't heard from them recently. We will add this to the (BOF) agenda if someone from Print Number attends. If you are interested in any of these topics I strongly encourage your participating in the Plenary and ask you to consider the potential for an evening BOF Wednesday April 13 in Tokyo. ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM STSM Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ----------------------------------------------
