<html><body> <DIV> <P align=left>The next WIMS/CIM conference is 28 July at 2PM EDT. Call in information is:</P> <P align=left><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Dial In: 1-866-365-4406</FONT> <BR><TT><FONT size=2>Toll #: 1-303-248-9655</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT size=2>Passcode: 2635888#</FONT></TT> <BR></P> <P align=left>For those who may have missed last week's call,  Rick's information on CIM handling of change requests and Ira's analysis of the current CIM Printing MOF's prompted a change in the approach outlined previously. Instead of generating a "pipe cleaner" change submission or non-controversial description information in the Printer Device MOF, the process is accelerated by doing an overall review of all Printing elements to identify proposed changes to align the MOFs with the Printer MIB V2 and IPP. Proposed changes will  be grouped into four categories that Ira used.</P> <P align=left>      Editorial Changes </P> <P align=left>      Technical Changes</P> <P align=left>       Issues</P> <P align=left>        Technical Extensions</P> <P align=left>These "identifications" of issues, with some explanation but not necessarily with a complete presentation of the proposed change, will be presented to the CIM contacts, and they would be asked the best way to getting the incorporation  of the changes.</P> <P align=left> </P> <P align=left>Tentative Agenda is:</P> <P align=left> 1. acceptance of the last meeting's Minutes: <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/cim_050728.pdf"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080>ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/cim_050728.pdf</FONT></A></P> <P align=left>2. Review of Progress on scheduled items.
