<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now is the time for anyone mildly interested in fleet management or the standardization of "click" counters on multifunction devices to take a look at this specification. We need to get comments from the PWG at large before a MIB and schema are created based on this specification. The specification is about 35 pages of which 8 are boiler plate. The specification consists mainly of tables, diagrams and lists and should not take too long to review. Please send any comments to the WIMS mailing list <</FONT><A HREF="mailto:wims@pwg.org"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mailto:wims@pwg.org</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> by close of business November 12 so they may be addressed in the review of the specification.</FONT></P>

The objective is to review this document section by section to prepare it for a Last Call. Particular attention should be paid to section 7 on conformance. We want to reduce the mandatory counters to a minimal but useful subset. I have taken an initial pass but I need other eyes to see if there can be further cuts or if I took out any critical counters. </FONT></P>
