Recommendation on the path forward for EOS

After reading and re-reading all the comments on this list here are my
observations:

1. Wes' OOPS draft seems to have very wide support.

2. Dave Shield's draft has little support on its own. Many would like to
take some of the ideas in this draft and combine them with the concepts in
the OOPS draft.

3. Glenn Mansfield Keeni's aggregation MIB module seems to have some
marginal support. 

4. Dave Perkins' GETCOL draft has not received any comment. 

My recommendation is that the WG focus its efforts on the OOPS draft using
ideas from Dave Shield's and Dave Perkins' work as appropriate. I propose
that the WG develops the OOPS work as a standards track effort.

I also recommend that Glenn's aggregation MIB continue to be developed and
discussed on this list. The status of the work will be periodically reviewed
to determine if this should be published as an RFC. If published, then the
status of the RFC (Informational, Experimental, Standards track) will be
determined later.
