The 2-week period expired with no substantive disagreement.  The one
editorial comment to clarify the second deliverable as the HPR/ATM
document is incorporated below (note the change bar):

   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 for HPR over a native ATM interface, 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)

Accordingly, the new charter is now official.

I realize that HPR5 has been available since September 5th; however
since it hasn't gotten formal AIW approval, I thought it best to refer
to HPR4 as the document we are maintaining.  Let's take care of that
business now:  a 2-week approval period for HPR5 ends October 16th.  As
it contains the changes Ray presented at AIW 8, which were agreeable at
the time, this review shouldn't require too much effort.  Post any
review comments here, please.
