The Operations and Management Area Working Group (opsawg) working group in the Operations and Management Area of the IETF has been rechartered. For additional information please contact the Area Directors or the WG Chairs. Operations and Management Area Working Group (opsawg) ------------------------------------------------ Current Status: Active Working Group Chairs: Scott Bradner <sob@harvard.edu> Chris Liljenstolpe <christopher.liljenstolpe@bigswitch.com> Melinda Shore <melinda.shore@gmail.com> Assigned Area Director: Ronald Bonica <rbonica@juniper.net> Mailing list Address: opsawg@ietf.org To Subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/opsawg Charter of Working Group: The Operations and Management Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with operational and management topics that are not in scope of an existing working group and do not justify the formation of a new working group. The OPSAWG will serve as the forum for developing such work items in the IETF. The OPSAWG mailing list is an open discussion forum for such work items, when they arise. The working group meets if there are active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones are updated as needed to reflect the current work items and their associated milestones. All new work items and rechartering proposals will be brought for approval with the IESG. The focus of the work will be on topics that govern the behavior or WGs in the O&M area (e.g., manageability requirements) and on small, highly focused projects that don't merit a WG of their own or belong to WGs that have already concluded (e.g. advancement of documents on the standards track, application statements, extensions of MIB modules). The OPSAWG will undertake only work items that are proved to have at least a reasonable level of interest from the operators and users community and have a committed number of editors and reviewers. It is not within the scope of the OPSAWG to pick up failed WG work or parts of a WG charter items that could not come to convergence on what they were chartered to do. The currently active OPSAWG work items mostly fall under the following topics: (A) Templates and tools for Operations and Management Area Documents (B) Maintenance and small scale extensions of documents that were developed in working groups that have concluded (e.g. MIB modules). (C) The RFC 5066 "Ethernet in the First Mile Copper (EFMCu) Interfaces MIB" has transitioned to the IEEE 802.3. However, as agreed with the IEEE, the IF-CAP-STACK-MIB MIB module (from RFC5066) is generic by nature and should continue to be supported by the IETF. The WG will develop a document extracting the IF-CAP-STACK-MIB from RFC5066, emphasizing the generic nature of this module, and obsolete RFC5066. (D) Documenting the list of RFCs transitioned to the IEEE 802.3.1-2011. Considering RFC 4663 "Transferring MIB Work from IETF Bridge MIB WG to IEEE 802.1 WG" as an reference, the following pieces of information would the foundation for the document: a table mapping the old IETF MIB names with the corresponding new IEEE ones, clarifications/rules on the IETF-IEEE interactions (mailing lists, reviews), and clarifications on the intellectual property considerations.
