Subject: [eman] Issue 2: How many operational power states do we need?

Dear all,

At the last IETF meeting, there were different opinions regarding the power states.
Let me try to summarize what I heard.

Some people were thinking we should attempt to have standardized power states, for both operational and non operational states.
The 6 non operational states of ACPI were proposed.
Next to that the question was how many do we need for operational: 6 other ones were proposed.
This is currently the proposal in [EMAN-FMWK]

Some other people were proposing not have operational states, but only non operational states. The ACPI based proposed if fine in this case?

I don't remember anybody advocating no power states at all. Anyway, the notion of power states is specified in the EMAN charter.

Please
