In Monterey, I expressed the urgent need to bring IPP to an agreed to l=
evel for
implementation. To the extent that the "Monterey Response" to Keith Moo=
re
appears to be moving toward compromise and convergence, our team will g=
ive
consideration to this effort to the point of ratification by the IESG a=
t
Chicago, in August.
We feel that a timely standard is preferred over the proliferation of
independent schemes for Internet printing and have supported the PWG in=
this
effort. We believe that IPP is adequate and that the public will be bet=
ter
served and much more concrete information will be learned from actual
experience, at this point, rather than continued debate.
We encourage "closure" as the overriding issue.
