    colleague at HP)

  - Well received

  - Just a few questions but quite minor ones

  - Positive feedback afterwards

(5) PWG Liaison Template review

- Discussion
  - Alan 
    - Found a typo in both templates: second sentence of 4.1 "No more than on 
      Observer" -> "on" should be "one"

    - Also, is having one the right number?

  - Smith
    - Emmett Lalish is listed as 3MF contact but he's gone

    - Need to add cross-licensing of the logos

  - Other observations:
    - Annex A:  "PWG Working Group IPP" -> what is that? Please fix these names 
      to be correct and consistent

    - Annex A of ASTM liaison:  Why are working groups specifically called out 
      in Annex A?  That may cause thrash and nullify the liaison agreement?

    - Annex B:"Internet Printing Protocol Working Group Co-Chair" should be 
      "IPP Workgroup Co-Chair"
