Three comments from the peanut gallery:

- Standardization of purely Infiniband functions shouldn't happen in the 
IETF.
I have no particular opinion on whether failover for IPoIB is a purely 
Infiniband function.

- Closing the WG doesn't prevent people from pushing the MIBs and CM draft 
through the IETF process - they just have to be finished, and then the 
author can ask for publication as a Proposed standard as an individual 
contribution.

- Like most other endeavors, an IETF WG grinds to a halt when there are no 
people actively participating who care. Being an open organization with no 
formal membership also means that people very informally leave....
