Hi Bill,

I am sensitive to the fact that there was little progress in the last year,  and I think this is my point.

As I said in my most recent message, I'm not calling into question the "work" that is being done, I'm curious as to whether the "sequence" or "priority" of this work with regards to publishing a Cloud Imaging profile could be an issue.

What I would like to gauge from the working group is whether or not we could declare the job ticket as an optional "package" carried by a cloud printing job...essentially making it an abstraction in the cloud imaging model for now and lock-down/get consensus/publish a model that takes care of all the "low-hanging fruit" ASAP to prevent any potential fragmentation of the cloud imaging space.

It's possible to publish a Cloud Imaging solution without detailing out job tickets -- I print jobs every day that don't use job tickets.  However, as I said before, I'm not calling into question the work that's going...I think it's good work, I'm just looking at this project with my "PM Hat" on..

If the Cloud Imaging WG feels there's no threat to fragmentation or that there's no risk to the Q1 / 2012 schedule, then that's fine too - 

R.
