RE: Where to root MIB modules

["David T. Perkins" <dperkins@dsperkins.com>]

HI,

Consider....

1) a) WG starts on technical specification containing a MIB module.
   b) WG creates "stable snapshot" for implementation and deployment
      testing
   c) WG creates another "stable snapshot"
   d) WG sends document to IESG for entrance to standards track

2) a) WG starts on technical spec
   b) vendor creates a proprietary "stable snapshot"
   c) WG updates techical spec
   d) vendor creates a proprietary "stable snapshot"
 
For each of the above, what are the descriptors to be used?
What is the OID root?
