If there is just some work needed to fix editorial issues in order to
comply with the latest boilerplates and such, I am willing to do this
for the BRIDGE-MIB. This MIB is wiedely implemented as far as I can
tell and I would like to see an SMIv2 version of this MIB going to 
Standard so that at some point we can actually move SMIv1 to historic.

I do not really feel qualified to do a real technical review (but there
should not be major technical changes anyway to move this forward to
Standard). Of course, we still would need to put together a deployment
report. I know that people usually dislike to write such reports, it
really should not be a big deal to get something together since this
MIB is used in all enterprise networks I have seen.

I am not having a strong opinion about the other MIBs. I think it is
fine to move them over to the IEEE. But then we should take a formal
decision on this and actually document it in an RFC, hopefully with
a pointer where the IEEE MIBs can be picked up. Such a document should
probably move the existing RFCed MIBs in the same action to Informational.

Does this plan make sense? Dave? Bert?
