Hi,

Lots of relevant info is available at the IETF Operations
and Management (OPS) Area Home Page:

  http://www.ops.ietf.org/


Two very relevant documents for development of MIBs:

RFC 4181 / BCP 111 (September 2005)
"Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of MIB Documents"
Abstract
   This memo provides guidelines for authors and reviewers of IETF
   standards-track specifications containing MIB modules.  Applicable
   portions may be used as a basis for reviews of other MIB documents.

*** This document was a perennial I-D for so many years, that it got
    right past me when finally published as an RFC in late 2005


draft-harrington-text-mib-doc-template-02.txt (January 2007)
"Template for Documents Containing a MIB Module"
Abstract 
   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols.  In particular it defines
   objects for managing [TODO].

   [TODO]: describe what functionality will be managed using this MIB
   module.  It can be good to mention the protocol being managed, and
   whether there is a particular aspect of the protocol to be managed,
   or a particular goal of the module.  But keep it brief.

*** This document looks useful


Cheers,
- Ira
