RE: To meet or not to meet?

Hi,

In Minneapolis, it was decided that this could not become a WG item unless
progress was made on existing WG items. Are we ready to move the State mib
forward, or should we drop it? What remains to be done before submitting
this to the IESG?

If work has not progressed, then the State MIB should be killed, as per
agreement reached in Minneapolis (is anybody implementing this mib?). 

If the WG does still want the State mib to advance, then maybe the WG should
meet and hammer out the final draft so it can stop being a bottleneck. Not
having a meeting doesn't help get the work done.

I support accepting the manufacturing date mib as a WG item as well, after
resolving the State MIB progress, and the WG could discuss any needed
changes to the details of this mib to make it acceptable as a WG item if
there was a WG meeting.

An interim meeting might be better for focused work, but I suspect that
without a regular meeting an interim meeting won't be permitted.

So I recommend that there be a **working** group meeting in San Diego to
make some real progress on these two mibs.

I concur.  I think we should move this MIB forward or get it done. -faye

Margaret,

I do not have a strong objection to Entity MIB WG not meeting in San
Diego.

I would like however to see the 'Entity MIB Extensions for manufacturing
date and physical module identification' a.k.a 'Kaj's draft' being
continued and worked out as a standards track document. What are the
reasons that you are not prepared to take this charter item, which seems
to have received a fair amount of interest? I believe this is relative
small amount of work, and possibly Kaj can complete it in one or two
rounds if we do not philosophize too much around it. I volunteered to be
a reviewer. There may be no need for meetings. 

Regards,

Dan
