The assignment of projects which require the new PWG Enterprises OID was
discussed in Boulder in the JMP meeting. The minutes do reflect the
agreement in the meeting. I agree with Jay that comments from the PWG in
general should be requested before this becomes official. I request that
all comments be submitted by Friday, November 14th.

One correction, the correct PWG Enterprises number is 2699. (I may have
given the wrong number in the meeting. :-(
