IANA MIB copyright update (WAS: Protocol Action: 'IETF Rights in Contributions' to BCP)

["C. M. Heard" <heard@pobox.com>]

MIB module authors --

Be aware that the IESG note accompanying the recent announcement of
the IPR documents that update RFC 2026 Section 10 has changed the
copyright notice that goes in IANA-maintained MIB modules from what
is stated in the current MIB review guidelines document

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-02.txt

A new version of the MIB review guidelines document that reflects
this change will be issued in the near future.

Regards,

Mike Heard
