Thomas said:
"So, while I am very interested in background and explanations, they're always educational, I'd submit that we should not drag our feet on this any longer: revive the document, do the reviews and re-spins, WGLC it and then get it off to Adrian for further processing. Having recently re-read it, my guestimate is that with a bit of concentrated effort, it shouldn't necessitate many months to see it through.

As I said, I'm willing to chip in and help out and do my part to make it go forward."


Two potential ways to proceed:

1) The last posted draft of the REPORT-MIB gave a simple bucket style approach to reporting remotely collected measurements back to a centralized manager.  It is straight forward and as Thomas said with some concentrated effort could finish up rather quickly with an energetic editor.  As an experimental RFC this could provide a useful experimental capability to play with and decide how best to improve upon for later efforts. 

2) A longer term effort would be to rewrite it in the context of the DISMAN set of MIBs.  But this would take more time and more discussions.  

My feeling is that 2) is the best long term approach, but that 1) would provide a more immediate capability to experiment with.

Thanks,  Bob
