Re: [eman] I-D Action: draft-ietf-eman-battery-mib-20.txt

Dear all,

Draft-ietf-eman-battery-mib has been approved by the IESG and is now ready to be added to the RFC Editor's queue.

We had version -17 in the IESG review for a long time. The main remaining issue to solve from version -17 was to address a DISCUSS from AD Pete Resnick that was related to the abstraction of the battery charging process chosen in the MIB module. We agreed with Pete, that we do not want to support many features from various charging technologies for various battery technologies. We rather want to offer a simple generic model for charging and discharging a battery.

We needed three revisions to converge on a solution that was agreeable by everyone. That's why I describe here the changes from version -17 to the current -20:

1. We added four paragraphs to the introduction explaining that we the Battery MIB module uses a simple common charging model with batteries being in one of the states 'charging', 'maintaining charge', 'not charging', and 'discharging'.

2. We added a new section 3.5 describing this model and how to control it using object batteryChargingAdminState.

3. in the MIB module we modified object batteryChargingOperState by removing state "fastCharging" and we modified object batteryChargingAdminState by removing states "fastCharging" and "maintainingCharge".

Please have a look at the changes and send your comments.

Thanks,
    Juergen
