A proposed new charter for the HPR SIG follows.  I suggest a 2-week
approval period.  If there is no dissent by Sept. 30, the new charter
will be considered approved.

   The HPR SIG's mission is twofold: first, to perform routine
   maintenance on the HPR architecture of record; and second, to
   develop a native ATM access architecture for APPN, based on the
   draft document ATM-01 entitled "HPR Extensions for ATM Networks"
   submittted by IBM at AIW 8, available from the AIW fileserver as
   //networking.raleigh.ibm.com/pub/standards/aiw/appn/hpr/atm-01.psbin.
   The first deliverable consists of updates to the HPR architecture
   of record (HPR4) on an as-needed basis.  The second deliverable is
   a specification, with AIW approval phases planned on the following
   schedule:

     - AIW 9  - Approved Direction (Nov. 1995)
     - AIW 10 - Approved Pages     (March 1996)
     - AIW 11 - Closed Pages       (July 1996)
