Hi folks,
Some concern has been expressed about (hypothetical) republication
of copyrighted IETF IPP material in an IEEE/ISTO PWG IPP/1.2 spec.
Here's some clarification of the actual format of PWG IPP/1.2 that
Pete Zehler and I are proposing.
> We are _not_ proposing that we should republish any IETF or PWG
> existing stds track or information IPP spec!
>> (Pete and I agree here) We are simply going to publish a very short
> document called IPP/1.2 that contains: a) list of normatively and
> informatively referenced _existing_ IPP specs; and b) list of now
> REQUIRED and OPTIONAL operations, objects, and attributes for IPP/1.2
> (i.e., higher requirements than IPP/1.1 and its entirely OPTIONAL set
> of current extensions in all those IPP specs).
>> The PWG IPP/1.2 spec would _not_ infringe any IETF copyright material.
> IANA would continue to be the permanent authority for registered IPP
> operations, objects, and attributes (from both PWG and IETF specs).
>> OK?
>> Cheers,
