Warren,Ignas,
        Hi. The Security Guidelines for IETF MIB Modules
needs a fix in the text that is generally used verbatim
in MIB documents.
The proposed fix is

OLD: Some of the readable objects in this MIB module
      (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than
       not-accessible)
NEW: Some of the readable objects in this MIB module
      (e.g., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than
       not-accessible)

The above is a significant nit. It appears in the
Security Considerations sections section of every
MIB document.

There has been some discussion on the IETF MIB-DOCTORS
mailing list on this matter. There is no disagreement
on the proposed fix.

Please advise on how to proceed on this matter.

Thanks,
Glenn
