Line 29 - ambiguous reference
- change "NETCONF" to "IETF NETCONF [RFC4741]".

Line 45-47 - typos and bad scope of Phase 1 and Phase 2
- change ""Human Direct" (console, remote console and internal Web
  Sever)"
  to "human-readable (console, remote console, and internal Web server)"
- move this section to Phase 2 *after* experience of Phase 1

Line 47 - capitalization
- change "phase 2" to "Phase 2"

Line 47 - missing document name paragraph
- add paragraph (like IPP EW charter) w/ "Therefore..." and filename

Line 54-55 - bad scope

Line 62 - ambiguous term
- change "levels" to "classes"

Line 65-66 - scope error
- delete sentence entirely
  "This includes a definition of permitted values for each element."
  - SNMP MIB objects and IPP attributes ALREADY define allowed values

Line 69-70 - scope error
- delete clause entirely
  "and where applicable, mandatory values of elements,"
  - recommended (but not mandatory) values may be appropriate for a
    small subset of elements (a few dozen across ALL of the SNMP MIBs)
  - rationale - remember ANY allowed value IS a legal value

Line 71 - ambiguous term
- change "level" to "class"

Line 73-74 - scope error
- delete sentence entirely
  "This includes a definition of permitted values for each element."
  - see line 65-66 above

Line 76-77 - scope error
- delete clause entirely
  "and where applicable, mandatory values of elements,"

- change "level" to "class"

Line 82-83 - out-of-date milestone
- change "for formal vote.- May 2011"
  to "for Last Call - June 2011"

Line 84-99 - missing milestone short names
- change "Phase 1 Levels" to "PHASE1-CLASSES" (for example)

Line 85 - ambiguous term
- change "Device Levels" to "Device Classes"
  - see line 62 above

Line 88 - bad scope of Phase 1 and Phase 2
- move Phase 1 Direct to Phase 2
  - see line 45-47 above

Line 90-95 - bad order of milestones
- *all* Phase 1 milestones MUST complete before any Phase 2 drafts
  - any other approach can't be change-controlled

Line 95 - invalid milestone
- delete "Phase 1 SMT" entirely - charters can't milestone Formal Vote

Line 99 - invalid milestone
- delete "Phase 2 SMT" entirely - charters can't milestone Formal Vote

Line 104 - missing references
- add
[RFC3805] IETF Printer MIB v2, R. Bergman, H. Lewis, I. McDonald,
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3805.txt

        [Comments on 15 May draft of CIM Printer Profile Charter]

Line 2 - scope error
- change "DMTF/CIM" to "PWG CIM"

Line 20 - missing references
- change "Printer MIB and IPP attributes"
  to "IETF Printer MIB v2 [RFC3805] and IETF IPP [RFC2911] elements"

Line 23 - wrong term
- change "CIM format" to "CIM classes"

Line 25 - ambiguous term
- change "established" to "standard"

Line 27 - bad scope of standards bodies
- replace first two clauses of this sentence entirely with
  "A DMTF CIM Management Profile which may only be defined and approved
  within the DMTF (by a chartered DMTF CIM working group),"

Line 32 - bad scope
- change "any compliant printer" to "any compliant device"

Line 33 - ambiguous pronoun
- change "It identifies" to "A CIM Profile identifies"

Line 34-39 - bad scope of standards bodies
- PWG *cannot* formally standardize the use of non-Printer CIM classes
  - there is no such authority granted by the DMTF

Line 52 - impossible objective
- DMTF guards copyright to their CIM Profile format - it is NOT public

Line 71 - missing references
- add [RFC3805] and [RFC2911]

Line 40-71
- project charter needs to be rewritten for legal scope per DMTF
  - if the PWG develops a profile as a Best Practice then it must ONLY
    reference Printer-specific CIM classes (actually, quite useful)

  - in collaboration with Rick Landau (co-chair DMTF CIM Core WG)
    Ira would be willing to try to rewrite this project charter

  - PWG first Formal Approval is NOT the process we have used for the
    past 6 years in DMTF/PWG Alliance work on CIM Printing classes
