System Improvement Ballot
Should a System Improvement Ballot (SIB) be done in 2005? Perhaps OpenMPE should sponsor the ballot instead of Interex. Even though HP indicated that a '05 SIB should be done at HPWorld, are they still agreeable to it? Serious questions about user community committing to updating their systems with any '05 SIB enhancements. P. Edwards to contact both HP and Interex to get answers to the Board's questions.
