I want to turn this discussion around 180 degrees. Why do you
want to be chartered by the IETF? This is probably heresy coming
from an IETF working group chairman but I really do not see any
advantage for the JOB MIB to be chartered by the IETF. All that
seems to matter is that an RFC number is attached to the JOB MIB
which will happen by it being informational. I do not see the
level (Informational, Proposed, Draft, etc.) that a MIB is at
making any difference in whether a MIB is successful in the
marketplace. Success in the marketplace is determined by a
lot of factors more than merely whether the MIB is on an
IETF Standards Track.

Lloyd
