Re: FW: [802.3.1_MIBS] FW: 802.3.1-2011 ApprovalNotification

Dan,

Sorry, my bad -- I did not mean to suggest anything heavyweight, 
certainly not publishing an RFC, just giving adequte notice to 
interested parties of the intended action.  Something less official 
than a last call put to the relevant lists would be quite 
sufficient.

Thanks and regards,

Mike

P.S.  I'll be out of e-mail contact for approximately the next 10 
days; I'll try to be prompt about attending to anything in the queue 
when I return.
