Since, from at least an IPP perspective, I don't think the IETF/IESG
has added
one penny of value publishing the June 30th drafts as
"informational" is fine
with me. What we do as leaders in the print industry is clearly
more important.
Since the IETF/IESG clearly has no interest in IPP becoming their
standard I
would recommend we completely remove the IETF/IESG copyrights and
replace them
with PWG copyrights to preserve our freedom of action.

Subject: PWG> Latest Status for IPP
All,
I am sending this message to the PWG members rather than to the IPP
DL.
Latest news from Keith Moore seems to indicate that he wants to
enforce
what was in his recent document:
On the use of HTTP as a Substrate for Other Protocols
<draft-iesg-using-http-00.txt>
which would mean development of new not yet existing security
features,
which we all know can take a loooong time.
He indicates that we can probably get the IPP RFCs out if we were
prepared to drop the aim of getting them on the standards track.
What is your reaction? How many of you would be willing to let the
IPP
documents be downgraded to "Informational" instead?
If I can get a quick feedback from you on the PWG DL and there is
sufficiently much support for that, I may be able to negotiate a
deal
with our Area Directors along those lines next week in Chicago.
