Telechat agenda topic: Does an IANA maintained MIB require an RFC?

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

The IESG today (and in email) discussed these 3 options.

1. require the initial version to be in an RFC. Make sure that
   some statement is made that the authoritative version is
   at the IANA web pages.
2. require initial version to be in an I-D for normal IETF
   approval process, but to be removed just before RFC gets
   published. It would be replaced with a ptr to the web
   page that contains the authoritative IANA mantained module
3. leave it up to a WG how to do it.


The consensus in the IESG is that option 1 is prefered with
indeed a very clear statement (possibly in the Module
DESCRIPTION clause) that the authorirtative version is
on the iana web pages.
