They refer to a "new model" and to a MIB replacement, which at this point has not been established as a necessary part of the solution to previously stated requirements.  And, quite frankly, requiring these items would be be contradictory to the idea be able to apply  Web Based Monitoring and Management to the existing equipment base which is certainly one of my personal requirements. It is quite possible that, in looking at solutions to WBMM requirements, it may be established that the sort of thing that Harry and Cathy are referring to is desirable. But I do not agree that we must start off with the premise that a requirement is to come up with a replacement to MIBs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003>I request:</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003>    a.  comments from more potential participants on the objective of the working group ... is the intent to come up with </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003>        a. a MIB replacement and the restructuring of the device model or :</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003>        b. a solution to the much more immediate problem of communicating management data  (derived from whatever source) over the internet,  using the existing infrastructure of the Web?</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=O style="mso-line-spacing: '100 20 0'; mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=757330915-31012003>    b. that contributors look at previously stated requirements.
