Operations and Management Area Working Group (opsawg) ----------------------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2007-11-26 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Scott Bradner Ted Seely Operations and Management Area Director(s): Dan Romascanu Ronald Bonica Operations and Management Area Advisor: Dan Romascanu Mailing Lists: General Discussion:opsawg@ietf.org To Subscribe: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg Archive: http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/opsawg/current/index.html Description of Working Group: The Operations and Management Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with operational and management topics that are not in scope of an existing working group and do not justify the formation of a new working group. The OPSAWG will serve as the forum for developing such work items in the IETF. The OPSAWG mailing list is an open discussion forum for such work items, when they arise. The working group meets if there are active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones are updated as needed to reflect the current work items and their associated milestones. All new work items and rechartering proposals will be brought for approval with the IESG. The focus of the work will be on topics that govern the behavior or WGs in the O&M area (e.g., manageability requirements) and on small, highly focused projects that don't merit a WG of their own or belong to WGs that have already concluded (e.g. advancement of documents on the standards track, application statements, extensions of MIB modules). The OPSAWG will undertake only work items that are proved to have at least a reasonable level of interest from the operators and users community and have a committed number of editors and reviewers. It is not within the scope of the OPSAWG to pick up failed WG work or parts of a WG charter items that could not come to convergence on what they were chartered to do. The currently active OPSAWG work items mostly fall under the following topics: (A) Development of a BCP document that will provide guidelines for authors and a reference for reviewers of IETF documents that specify new protocols or protocol extensions about the information about operational and manageability requirements that needs to be covered in these documents (B) Templates and tools for Operations and Management Area Documents (C) Maintenance and small scale extensions of documents that were developed in working groups that have concluded (e.g. MIB modules).
