PS: No one else liked ISMS, eh? I thought it was cute, where ISM =
dogma, doctrine, theory, "a belief accepted as authoritative by some
group," etc. Oh, well.

I like "Workgroup for Imaging Management Semantics". Odd that we hadn't
thought of "Work..." before.
Any objections?
Thanks,

How about "Workgroup for Imaging Management Semantics" -- that way we
don't need to explain the missing "G."

Hi,
So, "Working Group for Imaging Management Semantics (WIMS)"
Bill is quite right that Services is not the correct scope.
A precedent is IETF PWG (Printer Working Group, originally
chartered for RFC 1179 and later for RFC 1759).
Cheers,
- Ira
