Hi Moreno, I would consider that this is becoming a fundamental problem within the group. When it was setup it was certainly the impression of those that started off the discussions etc that it would be a profiling and current standards extension effort rather than all new standards...

All,
I've just had the chance to catch up with my email and had not seen any comment to Andrew's document? Was this discussed on the call this week? What was the result...
The document has been discussed during the call, and at the moment there is no result yet. There are currently two positions within the PGI WG, one arguing that the best way to address the requirements is to write a new specification (taking the useful bits and pieces from BES/JSDL/whatever), and the other arguing that everything can be accomplished from existing specifications/profiles, plus additional profiling.
No consensus has emerged so far on which is the direction to go. Apparently it is possible to achieve the requirements with both approaches, but this alone is not enough to suggest one of them over the other.
As far as Andrew's document is concerned, I had a couple of comments but before making them I am skimming through the specs and profiles referenced therein so that I have a better understanding.
Moreno.
