Agenda item, under Management issues: IANA MIB Copyright



Jackie/iesg

As suggested by Harald I want this on the agenda.
There were no objections on the IESG list, so I assume
it is just a formallity and we all agree. Just want
that recorded as part of the minutes of tomorrows telechat.

Once we have this approved and the web page in place, I 
can work with Michelle to get the current (adn future) 
IANA maintained MIB modules to have the appropriate text
and web ptr added to the DESCRIPTION clauses.

Thanks,
Bert
