Hi,
[egg on face] My apologies for mis-reading the details pages in
the IETF Data Tracker yesterday.
Let's hope the IESG _does_ approve these MIBs this coming Thursday.
Cheers,
- Ira

Hi all... not sure where Ira retrieved the "announcement" from.
But for all I know, the documents are on the IESG agenda for
coming Thursday and Have NOT yet been approved.
So pls excercise a bot more patience.
Sorry to spoil the party.
Thanks,
Bert Wijnen, co-AD for the IETF Operations and Management Area
