ACTION: 08/24/20 - Smith to update Press Release Policy and also update Roles and
Responsibilities to add SME (Subject Matter Expert).
- Discussion
- Review posted draft of PWG August 2020 F2F Summary
- Consensus: Unanimous that Smith should publish the summary
- Overall, F2F meeting seemed to go well (except for some Zoom problems)
- Discussion
- Password AND waiting room - belt and suspenders?
- Yes - let's go to password, but no waiting room, for SC calls
- Yes - also for the IPP WG and IDS WG calls
- Audio issues
- Using an older computer makes audio garbled
- Audio dropouts even over a fast WAN connection with VoIP
- Ira had a problem with getting "Call Back" / "Call Me" feature to work
- Not sure why we are having audio issues but, if it the problems continue, we can escalate
to Zoom tech support
- Discussion
- Smith recommends that PWG move to only publishing documents using the "https" URI scheme,
and cease publishing documents to the public using "ftp" or "ftps" URI schemes, to allow
PWG to move to a non-FTP file repository for internal use
- The public doesn't need to know that we use FTP or SFTP or NextCloud or GitHub or whatever
to publish documents to the public
- Consensus: Approve of this URI scheme change
- We have already been doing this now for some time (e.g., in recent Namespace Policy)
- All the PWG and WG officers should just police URI scheme usage, now that we are all
"officially" on the same page
ACTION: 08/24/20 - Smith to codify "https" URI scheme usage in the PWG Network
Infrastructure Policy document, etc. Also consider how to move away from "ftp.pwg.org" to
something more like "files.pwg.org" or "www.pwg.org/files".
- Discussion
- Topic came up during last week's PWG August 2020 F2F
- Last time this topic came up in SC, Google had not made an official announcement (e.g., press
release or a blog) rather than simply from a tech note or one of their support forums
- Google is a PWG member in good standing and we don't want to undercut them
- Could we publish a document simply describing IPP Everywhere on Chrome OS?
- Or would it be good for Smith as PWG Chair to reach out to Sean Kau (Google) to ask whether
IPP Everywhere is part the Google strategy or if it is sort of an incidental thing for them?
ACTION: 08/24/20 - Smith to contact Sean Kau (Google) to see if PWG and Google are both going in
the same direction and whether Google is interested in either working together on a press release
or if they would object to us posting an informational document on IPP and Chrome OS for local and
cloud printing.
- Discussion
- Paul and Alan are working on gathering the appropriate data to decide which way to go about
leveraging a PP specific to 3D printers
- Maybe use the HCD cPP as a base document, do that with a "PP Module" and a new SD (Supporting
Document with assurance tests)
- Is INCITS interested in Common Criteria certification or do they have different interests?
- Yes, the asked specifically about Common Criteria (not some other certification process)
- Also this will feed into the presentation Paul and Alan will make to INCITS in October
- Discussion - Smith about to publish next draft to re-establish a baseline for discussion and review
