Description of Working Group:

     The DECNet Phase IV MIB Working Group will define MIB elements
     in the experimental portion of the MIB which correspond to
     standard DECNet Phase IV objects.  The group will also define
     the access mechanisms for collecting the data and transforming
     it into the proper ASN.1 structures to be stored in the MIB.

     In accomplishing our goals, several areas will be addressed.
     These include:  Identification of the DECNet objects to place
     in the MIB, identification of the tree stucture and
     corresponding Object ID's for the MIB elements, Generation of
     the ASN.1 for these new elements, development of a proxy for
     non-decnet based management platforms, and a test
     implementation.

Goals and Milestones:

Done       Review and approve the Charter and description of the Working
           Group, making any necessary changes.  At that meeting, the
           scope of the work will be defined and individual working
           assignments will be made.

Done       Mailing list discussion of Charter and collection of
           concerns.

Done       Review first draft document, determine necessary revisions.
           Follow up discussion will occur on mailing list.  If
           possible, prototype implementation to begin after revisions
           have been made.

Done       Make document an Internet Draft.  Continue revisions based on
           comments received at meeting and over e-mail.  Begin `real'
           implementations.

Done       Review final draft and if OK, give to IESG for publication as
           RFC.
