RE: [802.3_MAINT] Draft D1.0 is now available
Geoff,
We discussed this in the maintenance task force at the
July plenary, in the context of comments submitted on
P802.3bc. I recall that we concluded that IANA would
remain the registration authority for the mau type
assignments used in the SMIv2 modules.
This is documented in the response to Pat Thaler's
comment #13 on P802.3bc/D3.0, which can be found in
the file:

Howard-
Jeff swings the spotlight onto the more important question in his 2nd
question under point 2.
That is:
Is there any such thing at this date and forward as an
"IANA-maintained MIB" ?
I thought that the entire purpose of this project was to remove us from
any dependency on IANA/IETF for any kind of MIB maintenance.
Clarification is this area would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Geoff Thompson
