<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If
the goal is to retain the acronym WIMS, we must construct a suitable
backronym. The problem is the W, since the absorbed PMP items are not
"Web-based." The current charter draft suggests
"Wide-scope."</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So
long as the W does not stand for <st1:State w:st="on">Washington</st1:State>,

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Of
course, we could always change the name slightly, since lots of interesting
words end in MS for Management Semantics. For example, Imaging Systems
Management Semantics, or ISMS. Has kind of a nice ring to it. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
