    Hi Hugo and Carl-Uno,

    Boy I can feel this quicksand moving already...

    So there are at least three separate things we really need to
    rank/decide:

    1) [Carl-Uno's current polling objective]
        IPP/1.x Notifications - which method(s) are required for
        all implementations, so that the IESG can have a conformance
        testing report when we want to move IPP (and _all_ of its
        IETF spec options) to IETF Draft Standard status next year?

    2) IETF specs - which method(s) will we finish up and issue?
        - the spec editors want to know this

    3) Bakeoff - which method(s) will be tested in October?
        - Pete Zehler wants to know this and so does Paul Moore

    Comments?

    Cheers,
    - Ira McDonald

    I see *your* point. Except my vote was going to be ...

       a) over email - 1
       b) over IPP
       c) over INDP - 1
       d) over SNMP
       e) don't mandate any - 2

    But, if that's not an option then I'll settle for ...

       a) over email - 0 (strongly recommend)
       b) over IPP - 0
       c) over INDP - 0 (strongly recommend)
       d) over SNMP - 0

    Hugo,

    I see your point, but I don't want to change the rules again. What I intend
    to do is to count the 0000-ids as a separate category; if we end up having
    more people in that group than in the one that has allocated their 4 points,
    we have a clear answer. Nobody's voice will go unheard...
