What John said when I pinged him about this... [John Klensin wrote:]
With appropriate allowances for the onset of senility, my recollection is that Bert asked for this --and only this, not a general 802 liaison-- and we said something closer to "sure, why not" than "yes". If it didn't make it only the web page, either the Secretariat screwed up, or Bert assumed I was going to take care of it, or vice versa -- I presume it should have been listed even if it was only tied to the hubmib effort. If you were contemplating a liaison to 802 more generally, the politics are complex. Bob Moskowitz mentioned to me in San Francisco that he had been following many of their activities and attending most of their meetings. As a former IAB member with a reasonably good understanding of how we function, he would probably be a good source of advice/insight as to what you should be looking for/ watching out for.

This is what I was talking about during the retreat.
So this one is not listed on the Liasons web page.
May be it is because Dan is only LIason for the HUBMIB WG?
Thanks,

Subject: HUBMIB WG liason to IEEE 802

Jim,
The IETF Ethernet Interfaces and Hub MIB (hubmib) Working
Group (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/hubmib-charter.html)
is working on a set of SNMP MIBs for Ethernet devices. In
this work it would be good to ensure that there is a good
communication channel between the IEEE activity and this
working group. This message is a request for Dan Romascanu
(HUBMIB WG-chair) to act as the IETF HUBMIB WG liason to IEEE
802. We would like this interface to allow Dan and his WG to
have early access to IEEE 802.3 working documents, so that MIB
developments stay in sync with IEEE 802.3 developments.
Thanks and best new years wishes,
john
