RE: FW: Please read - proposed WG termination

Eitan,
Please post your comments and issues and I will update the I-Ds for the
IPOIB MIBs. 

Jerry,
Is it too late to reissue the IPOIB MIB I-Ds? I could do it next week if
there is interest.

/sean

Just join the list (which you already did) and bring your
comments/issues
to the list before it's too late! (May already be too late though.)
