Congratulations! This required a lot of hard work. Thanks to Rick, Ira, Craig, Bill and all who helped out with review and comment. DMTF CIM continues to strengthen its position as a core semantic repository for distributed systems management and the PWG is playing a key role in realigning the print and imaging model in a controlled, step-wise fashion.   ---------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%><Richard_Landau@Dell.com> Sent by: owner-wims@pwg.org 07/17/2006 10:29 AM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td><wims@pwg.org> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>WIMS> CIM> Our first CR passed the DMTF TC, ta-da!</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> The first PWG CR in the CIM alignment effort has passed the DMTF Technical Committee (5 to 0), and will be incorporated in the next released version of the CIM schema.  Congrats to all involved! The next six are in the process cycle, too.  Those complete Phase 1.  And we are beginning work on the next phase.   rick PS: It took weeks for me to discover the results of the TC vote.  I have suggested several process improvements to them to speed notification to the originator of the CR.   ---------------------- Richard_Landau(at)dell(dot)com, Stds & System Mgt Arch, CTO Office +1-512-728-9023, One Dell Way, RR5-3 MS 8509, Round Rock, TX 78682
