Hi Bill,
yes, I guess my definition of the work to be done for cloud printing would be:
"What happens to our model when we move the print server into the cloud?"
I guess I was trying to narrow the focus of the Cloud Imaging WG to identify ONLY those things that change when we do move the print server into the cloud
It just seemed like a lot of the work we were doing with job tickets, mapping,etc. was stuff that had value in a non-Cloud application, so doing this in the Cloud WG would not be appropriate (given the name of our working group)

>> Although I do not recall the email exchange you refer to, it was originally proposed by some that Cloud activity should be handled in IPP. The objection was that that consideration of Cloud imaging should not be limited to an IPP context.
>> The mapping activity was proposed as a best practices effort within the Cloud group to specifically address the fact that existing Cloud printing used PPDs or XPS (actually MSPS) to identify printer and job request characteristics, and that defining the correlation to the PWG model would assist in an eventual transition to a Semantic Model compatible Cloud Printing approach. Other mappings, such as JDF and IPDS, MODCA and CIM were added later by others, with the effort enlarged to a standards track activity. The intent here was not related to Cloud Imaging and, realistically, the effort belongs in the Semantic Model WG, not the Cloud WG. By the way, the PWG Job Ticket activity was a Semantic Model, not a Cloud project.
>> It has been decided that the areas of Cloud Printing that I believe you regard as “Cloud Specific” , that is the authentication, authorization and what has been referred to as User association and printer registration, are out of scope with regard to anything but a general functional description. Further, you and others have asserted that the printing aspects of Cloud Printing are no different from Print Service based printing. Therefore, the Cloud WG activity is largely limited to modeling the interface between the Cloud Print Manager (read the printer) and the Cloud service (no longer called the Cloud Print Service). This interface has already been largely defined in the Semantic Model.
>> Finally, with the IPP binding activity being transferred to the IPP WG, there really is little left for the Cloud WG; so, although it has not happened yet, it might be reasonable to concentrate these activities solely within the IPP group. Should some volunteers appear to at least do a modeling of what you call the Cloud Specific aspects, that might be a reasonable activity for the Cloud WG.
