[eman] Read-Only or Read-Write EMAN MIBs

[Thomas Nadeau <[e-mail]>]

	
	EMAN WG:

	The EMAN WG currently has three MIBs that are WG drafts:

	draft-ietf-eman-battery-mib-11	
	draft-ietf-eman-energy-aware-mib-14
	draft-ietf-eman-energy-monitoring-mib-08

	At present Benoit as AD, the Ops Directorate and MIB Doctors are preparing a statement to WGs that strongly recommends against MIBs with writable objects unless the working group has a strong consensus to do so. The current *draft* of the statement is listed here for your information:

The OPS area recommends the use of NETCONF/YANG standards for
configuration. IETF working groups are therefore encouraged to use
the NETCONF/YANG standards for configuration, specifically in new
charters. SNMP MIB modules modifying persistent configuration state 
should only be produced by working groups in cases of clear utility and 
overwhelming consensus to use SNMP write operations for configuration.

	In an effort to head off any potential snafus during the IESG review
of the three EMAN MIBs, I want to poll the WG for consensus on whether or not 
to make the current list of WG documents read-write or read-only. If there is 
not strong consensus to leave them read-write, Nevil and I will instruct the 
editors to edit the documents to remove writable objects.

	Please post comments on this matter by Friday, February 14, 2014 
at 9AM EDT.
