Network Management Area Director: o Marshall Rose: mrose.iesg@dbc.mtview.ca.us Area Summary reported by Marshall Rose/Dover Beach Consulting A working group is either active or inactive. Active working groups have charters to develop documents. Inactive working groups have no charter -- typically because they have completed their previous charter. These inactive working groups (and their mailing lists) serve as a forum for implementors. When a standards-track document produced by a working group is ready for further evaluation or new documents are appropriate, the working group is re-chartered accordingly. Due to a lack of senior technical resources in the Network Management area, there is a moratorium on new working groups for the 1993 calendar year. At the beginning of 1994, this policy will be revisited. Until then, only things of the utmost urgency will be receive any consideration for possible working group activation. This policy does not apply to working groups currently inactive, awaiting re-activation due to standards-track activity. ATM MIB Working Group (ATOMMIB) The working group is active, editing ``Definitions of Managed Objects for ATM Management Version 4.0'' (draft-ietf-atommib-atm-01.txt) and ``Definitions of Managed Objects for the SONET/SDH Interface Type'' (draft-ietf-atommib-sonet-01.txt). The SONET draft is completed, but a few issues remain on the ATM draft. Completion is expected by early December 1993. Bridge MIB Working Group (BRIDGE) The working group is inactive, awaiting the next stage for RFC 1493 and RFC 1525. BRIDGE is eligible to re-activate in April 1994. Character MIB Working Group (CHARMIB) The working group is active, waiting for the Interfaces MIB Working Group (IFMIB) to complete the ``Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II'' Internet-Draft before proceeding with the evaluation of RFCs 1316-1318 (Proposed Standards) with respect to the standards track. DECnet Phase IV MIB Working Group (DECNETIV) The working group is active, waiting for an IESG action on ``DECnet Phase IV MIB Extensions'' (draft-ietf-decnetiv-mibext-03.txt).

Both the Interfaces Evolution and Connection Table MIBS are virtually completed. Wrap-up is expected by mid-November 1993. Following this, the working group is chartered to evaluate RFCs 1229, 1231, 1304 (Proposed Standards), and 1398 (Draft Standard) with respect to the standards track. Mail and Directory Management Working Group (MADMAN) The working group is active, waiting for editorial updates.

The editors are producing new drafts. Modem Management Working Group (MODEMMGT) The working group is active, reviewing ``Modem MIB'' (draft-ietf-modemmgt-mdmmib-00.txt). The group reviewed its first draft, but concensus is lacking. MODEMMGT is also late in meeting its milestones.

UPSMIB is several months overdue based on milestones in its charter. The area director has given the working group until November 26, 1993 to reach concensus on a completed draft; otherwise, the working group will be terminated. X.25 Management Information Base Working Group (X25MIB) The working group is inactive, awaiting the next stage for RFCs 1381-1382 (Proposed Standards). X25MIB is eligible to re-activate now.
