Question - should we move the WIMS meeting to a different venue other than Tokyo? We already know that the WIMS Chairman will not be able to travel to Tokyo. We are attempting to posture for WIMS last call completion at the Tokyo (April) f2f but, with more than 1 person indicating they may not make Tokyo, we already begun discussing a follow-up venue via phone conference. Also, P2600 meets in Tokyo Tue/Wed and splits the PWG into Monday/Thurs. Without WIMS, we could leave Monday open for travel etc. Does it make more sense to a. Maintain the current agenda (WIMS Monday in Tokyo) b. Push WIMS last call final review to a phone conf PRECEDING Tokyo (so the SC can approve LC results at the Plenary) c. Push WIMS last call final review to a phone conf POST Tokyo (to provide more time to prepare for LC) ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM STSM Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ----------------------------------------------
