Subject: RE: [smartpower-interest] Report on the Smart Grid work in the
IETF

May be we should add 'draft-ietf-opsawg-management-stds' to the list, 
which has been mainly triggered by NIST SGIP and aims to complement 
draft-baker-ietf-core.

The draft is going to be discussed in SGIP IP Suite (IPSWG) and 
Cyber Security (CSWG) Working Groups.

Cheers, 
Mehmet
