PWG-ANNOUNCE> FORMAL VOTE ON the Web Based Monitoring and Management Working Group Charter

Greetings:

The current  PWG Process document classifies a  Working Group charter as a standards document subject to 
last call and formal PWG approval. The Web Based Monitoring and Management Working Group Charter has
completed last call with no open issues. We therefore are submitting the WBMM WG charter for PWG approval
by FORMAL VOTE.

This document is  accessible at:

I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: PPP Vendor Protocol
	Author(s)	: J. Carlson, R. Winslow
	Filename	: draft-ietf-pppext-vendor-protocol-00.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 2003-7-24
	
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] defines a Link Control Protocol
(LCP) and a method for negotiating the use of multi-protocol traffic
over point-to-point links.  PPP Vendor Extensions [2] adds vendor-
specific general-purpose Configuration Option and Code numbers.  This
document extends these features to cover vendor-specific Network,
Authentication, and Control Protocols.

PWG-ANNOUNCE> Free XML Schema Validator (XSV 2.5)

Hi,

[worth adding to your bag of local XML tools]

I've found this free command-line XML Schema Validator
to be very useful.  It's co-written by Henry Thompson
(W3C staff) and the project is hosted at University of
Edinburgh (Scotland).

The latest version is 2.5.  I've been using a much
older version 1.4 with excellent results for several
months.

The durable link for status of the LATEST version is:

    http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xsv-status.html

This latest status document always contains info on
how to download the Win32 self-installing package 
(v2.5 is about 1.3MB).  There are also sources and
binaries for Linux and other platforms, as well.

Cheers,
- Ira McDonald

Also, for those wanting a tiny XML library for their (embedded)
apps, my free Mini-XML library is available at:

     http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/

It is about 1/100th the size of libxml2...

I-D ACTION:draft-schryver-pppext-iana-01.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IANA Considerations for the Point-to-Point Protocol 
                          (PPP)           	
        Author(s)	: V. Schryver
	Filename	: draft-schryver-pppext-iana-01.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 2003-7-28
	
The charter of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions (pppext)
working group includes the responsibility to 'actively advance PPP's
most useful extensions to full standard, while defending against
further enhancements of questionable value.' In support of that
charter, the allocation of PPP protocol and other assigned numbers
will no longer be 'first come first served.'

PWG-ANNOUNCE> RE: FORMAL VOTE ON the Web Based Monitoring and Management Working Group Charter

NetSilicon votes to accept the WBMM charter.

Re: PWG-ANNOUNCE> Reminder-Just FORMAL VOTE ON the Web Based Monitoring and Management Working Group Charter

I already voted to accept the WBMM charter but I did not copy pwg-announce. When I saw Bill's vote to accept I realize it is probably a good idea to copy the world.

So, just to let you know... IBM enthusiastically supports WBMM.

I think this puts me squarely in the "vote early and vote often" camp .

Just a reminder to cast your vote. The process does not define a quorum requirement, but a poor turnout would  be interpreted as a lack of interest by  those working on the effort. So if showing that your company has no interest is not your  intent, please vote.

Many thanks.
