The PWG Process requires new working groups to have a charter that is voted
on by the PWG as a whole. Working Groups were envisioned as having a
specific, defined and limited set of objectives, and an corresponding end
date. However, with the quasi-permanent nature of the WIMS/PMP working
groups, we have fallen into the mode of initiating new projects as they seem
reasonable, without going through the formal PWG process of creating and
having PWG-wide approval of specific charter. This may lead to projects
that do not have the awareness and/or approval o f the overall PWG
membership.
At the last face-to-face meeting, three WIMS/PMP projects were identified.
MFD Alerts
Coherent MFD Management Interfaces
CIM Printer Profile
It was agreed that these projects should have project charters and overall
PWG approval before we proceed. I am creating draft project charters for
review by the WIMS/PMP, with discussion intended over the ail list and at
the next WIMS conference call, Thursday April 21 at 1PM EDT. The first
charter draft, for MFD Alerts is at
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-mfdalerts-charter-20110413.pdf.
Please review and comment.
Thanks,
Bill Wagner
Chairman, WIMS/PMP
