IPP WG interested parties. So far there have been no volunteers willing to committ to taking on the IPP Working Group chair position after the current chair leaves at the end of October 2008. During the Thursday (9/11) PWG Steering Committee conference call, the SC decided that the IPP Working Group will be put on hold after the October F2F meeting in Lexington if there still is not a chair (or co-chiars) in place.  This will result in the suspension of ALL work that is currently being performed by the IPP Working Group. One option that I'd like to encourage the "regular" IPP WG  participants to consider is the possibility of a co-chair structure; potentially one member chairing the conference calls and another member agreeing to run the F2F meeting sessions, either in person or by phone. Otherwise, the work efforts which have shown to be of interest to more than a few PWG members will have to be put on hold until the chair position os filled.
