    Hi,

    Attached are the voting results, which I intend to discuss with you in the
    Wednesday phone conference.
    Please note that the PDF version came out as two pages.

    A few people have casted votes for QUALDOCS although it wasn't in the
    original list, so I made an extra column for that.

    I did not include QUALDOCS in the original list as I considered that to be a
    separate project, but as some of you have already pointed out, it might
    become a good vehicle as the "killer app" for IPP. So far QUALDOCS has not
    yet been declared a project in the IETF. In earlier conversation with
    Richard Shockey, he has suggested that the PWG take it up as project if the
    IETF doesn't. Anyway, let us discuss this also a bit further on Wednesday.

    The clear winners so far seem to be Driver Download and Open Source Client,
    but all of the subjects has got some votes.

    I fully agree with Stuart. Qualdocs was not on the original list. I, for
    one, responded before Qualdocs was introduced. It is not clear who is
    considering qualdocs and who is not considering it. Finally, despite the
    appreciated explanations, I am still uncertain what position the PWG has
    with respect to qualdocs, which as far as I see, is still not a chartered
    IETF working group. If we are an unofficial advisory body to a non-existent
    working group, I think we must consider what our efforts would consist of
    before we consider priorities. If we have a real opportunity to help advance
    the idea of IPP for scanning/fax (by whatever name), I would put the
    importance just below a full featured client (which may be considered to
    include driver and font handling).

    In under the wire...

    My rankings:

    7 Print Driver Download
    7 Open Source IPP Client
    3 Resource Object
    3 Set 2 Operations
    1 Production Printing Attributes
    0 Set 3 Operations
    0 Document & Page Exceptions

    Since Qualdocs was not included in the original vote request and many did
    not include it in their vote, I also omitted it. I suggest polling the
    participants at the next meeting to gauge interest in Qualdocs or redoing
    the email vote with Qualdocs as one of the defined candidates rather than as
    a write-in.
