Well, as far as I understand all the MIB documents are currently
expired, and we are about four years behind the deadlines listed
in the charter.

It would be great of course if there was a pocket of energy somewhere
to complete the MIBs. Is there? In any case, even after WGs close the
ADs sometimes shepherd particular documents through the IESG.
I'd be willing to do that for an IB-related MIB, if someone completed
one.

It is approved, and currently in the RFC Editor's queue. Closing the group
down does not affect this document's progress towards an RFC.
