Description of Working Group:

     This Working Group will specify management information and
     protocols necessary to manage IP-based and OSI-based LANs and
     WANs in the Internet based on OSI Management standards and
     drafts, NIST Implementors Agreements and NMF Recommendations.
     It will also provide input to ANSI, ISO, NIST and NMF based on
     experience in the Internet, and thereby influence the final
     form of OSI International Standards on management.

Goals and Milestones:

TBD        Develop implementors agreements for implementation of CMIP
           over TCP and CMIP over OSI.

TBD        Develop extensions to common IETF SMI to satisfy requirements
           for management of the Internet using OSI management models
           and protocols.

TBD        Develop extensions to common IETF MIB-II to satisfy
           requirements for management of the Internet using OSI
           management models and protocols.

TBD        Develop prototype implementations based on protocol
           implementors agreements, IETF OIM Extended SMI and Extended
           MIB.

TBD        Promote development of products based on OIM agreements.

TBD        Provide input to the ANSI, ISO, NIST and NMF to influence
           development of OSI standards and implementors agreements.

TBD        Completion of the following drafts:  Implementors Agreements,
           Event Management, SMI Extensions, MIB Extensions, OSI
           Management Overview, Guidelines for the Definition of
           Internet Managed Objects.
