The PMP did decide on a teleconference between NYC and New Orleans
at its meeting last week. Lloyd is setting up the teleconference.
The main purpose will be to go over a fully specified proposal for
the new object/group prtChannelInformation (a ka magic cookie).
That is the major outstanding item left for the Printer MIB.
The PWG, PMP, and JMP minutes will be out shortly, but this is a preview
on the PMP part.
