So we will need to add the JMP Charter to the Printer MIB WG Charter.
Does that mean that the Printer MIB WG name needs to be changed to
something like: Printer and Job Monitoring MIBs WG?
Or do we just keep the Printer MIB WG name but add the Job Monitoring
MIB charter info to the Charter of the Printer MIB WG?
By the way, the IETF code for the Printer MIB WG is "printmib".
See the IETF schedule of meetings. Also "printmib" is the symbol
for the OID name that is part of all OIDs in RFC 1759. The printmib
symbol is assigned to { mib-2 43 } by the MODULE-IDENTITY macro in
RFC 1759.
Does that mean that the OIDs for the Job Monitoring MIB will also
be part of the same sub-tree as the Printer MIB, or will the
Job Monitoring MIB project get assigned another OID arc under mib-2?
If a different OID arc, how does the Printer MIB WG go about requesting
a new arc?
By the way, I suspect that Ron can still be the Job Monitoring Project
leader under the Printer MIB WG, but the Lloyd and Chris are still
the co-chairs of the Printer MIB WG responsible for both the Printer MIB
and the Job Monitoring MIB, ok?
