Re: FW: Please read - proposed WG termination

Hi IPoIB folks,

My name is Eitan Zahavi and I work for Mellanox Technologies.
As my responsibility is IB management software I would like to update the forum
Mellanox would be interested in contributing to the existing MIB drafts.
We already have several minor issues with the
draft-ietf-ipoib-ibif-mib-07.txt and draft-ietf-ipoib-channel-adapter-mib-06.txt

What is not clear to me is how do we work with the forum on these issues?

Please advice

Eitan Zahavi
