Dear ADSL MIB workgroup members,

I would like to raise an issue in this group.

As some of you may know the IEEE 802.3.1 task force was recently formed wit=
h the intention of maintaining the Ethernet-related MIB modules. The task f=
orce has copied the relevant MIB modules developed by the IETF HUBMIB group=
 and published it as IEEE Std 802.3.1-2011.

While processing RFC 5066 "Ethernet in the First Mile Copper (EFMCu) Interf=
aces MIB" the IEEE copied both EFM-CU-MIB and IF-CAP-STACK-MIB modules cont=
ained in the RFC, even though the latter MIB module is generic and not Ethe=
rnet-specific.
Recognizing the mistake, the 802.3.1 task force leadership has agreed to re=
move the IF-CAP-STACK-MIB from the next revision of IEEE Std 802.3.1-2011.

What is required now is for the IETF to obsolete RFC 5066 with a new RFC, w=
hich would:


a)      Let the readers to know that IEEE 802.3.1 is the new home for EFM-C=
U-MIB

b)      Keep IF-CAP-STACK-MIB, with some wording emphasizing the generic na=
ture of this module.

Since HUBMIB workgroup is not active anymore I suggest to do this work in t=
he ADSLMIB, especially taking into consideration that GBOND-MIB draft devel=
oped by this group uses IF-CAP-STACK-MIB.

Since I was the original author of RFC 5066 I would like to volunteer to be=
 the editor of this new document.

Regards,
-E.
