  • Next message: Whittle, Craig: "WIMS> CIM - Minutes from the March 22, 2007 teleconference"

    As Ira indicated, there will be a CIM conference call this Thursday at 2 PM EDT.
    Dial In: 1-866-365-4406
    Toll #: 1-303-248-9655
    Passcode: 2635888#

    Items on the Agenda are:

    a. Approval of Minutes of 8 March
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/cim_070308.pdf.
    (thank you Craig)

    b. Discussion of progress with CIM effort/ communications with CIM. Please see:
               Rick Landau's emails of Friday, March 09, 2007 and Ira McDonald's message below.
    c. Perhaps a few minutes on the Counter Spec again. I had sent out an email considering Glen Petrie's comments about a month ago (15 Feb), but there has been no response. I know we discussed these already, but some of his comments refer to simple changes that may inprove understanding and I wanted to doublecheck with the group on whether these should be addressed before I send out the call for objections.
       1. "raw traffic" - change to "actiity" or "Workload", or include defintion
       2. add defintion of "Single-sided" as a synonym of "Simplex"
       
    Many thanks.

    > Hi,
    >
    > Reminder that we should have a WIMS-CIM telecon this week.
    >
    > A suggested topic:
    >
    > * Reappraisal of the DMTF/PWG CIM Refresh alliance
    > - The modelling is getting progressively more convoluted
    > and our original objective (essentially comprehensive
    > CIM mapping of print device and print service standards)
    > is not feasible.
    > - Rick can give us more details from the CIM Core WG meeting
    > last week, but the bottom line is that we must simplify
    > (i.e., delete more properties) the print subunits or we'll
    > certainly be forced to separate capabilities and possibly
    > separate settings classes - defeating the CIM modelling
    > usefulness entirely.
