MSI Minutes

Minutes of the Management Services API Working Group at the Atlanta
meeting of the IETF.

The first item discussed at the meeting was the motion to dissolve the
Working Group.  The reason given for this motion was that the solution
that we had been developing would require changes in areas outside of
the Group's original Charter.  These areas would include a general
database/method of mapping any IETF defined MIB to both the SNMP SMI and
the ISO SMI, and a general object naming scheme that would allow for the
mapping of ISO Distinguished Names to and from SNMP variables.

The group voted unanimously to disband the Working Group and to allow
the MSI API draft document to be purged from the internet-drafts
directories when they expire.

The next item discussed was a proposal from the mailing list that the
Working Group reform or reconstitute itself to produce a standard API
for SNMP applications.  It was suggested by the Chair that this should
be addressed by the normal process of forming a Working Group.  If there
is interest in this activity, then the Area Director, James Davin,
should be approached with a proposed Charter.
