The current AppleTalk MIB is specified in RFC 1243. The IETF Apple-IP Working Group produced a follow-on MIB document (AT-MIB+) that is essentially a superset of RFC-1243. The WG achieved consensus on the AT-MIB+ document that was published as an Internet Draft in April, 1993. For various reasons, none of them technical, that document was not advanced onto the Internet Standards track as an RFC. We believe that there is no reason to delay this advancement any longer. This note seeks to re-affirm the consensus on AT-MIB+ prior to forwarding it to the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) for consideration as a proposed standard. In particular, anyone who has any strong concerns about this document being published as a Proposed Standard should speak up now. Comments can be sent to either or both of the apple-ip@cayman.com or anf-disc@netcom.com mailing lists. Please submit any comments by March 9. A new version of the AT-MIB+ is available as an Internet Draft; the file name is draft-ietf-appleip-mib2-02.txt. Among other places, it's available in the ANF repository on ftp.netcom.com:pub/anf/related-docs. This version has only minor editorial (non-technical) changes from the version of April 1993. The AT-MIB+ is the last item on the agenda of the Apple-IP WG. It is not expected that this WG will need to meet again to complete this work. Bob Morgan of Stanford University (taking over from Fidelia Kuang of Apple Computer) will be acting as Chair of the WG for the short period of time (we hope) before the AT-MIB+ becomes an RFC. For the Apple-IP Working Group, RL "Bob" Morgan Steve Waldbusser Fidelia Kuang
