- Discussion
  - Our interest is mostly focused on the 1284 Device ID - all the rest is 
    uninteresting at this point

  - Jessica said she can reach out to Don Wright about this

  - Can we just extract the 1284 Device ID definition and write a really short 
    Informational RFC or else get IEEE to publish it for free and let it be out 
    there in perpetuity?

  - (Smith) Or should / could we use this as an inflection point to deprecate / 
    abandon what is really a legacy technology?
    - Can discuss later

    ecosystem landscape

  - Someone from Drupa attendees has reached out asking for an update on IPP 3D

  - How to author an update on that? 
    - Use PWG PR contacts? 
    - Or have PWG SC & friends put something together?

  - (Smith) Would Paul be able to work with Anne Price on this?
