Subject: [imss] ZS MIB draft, -03 version coming

A -03 version of the ZS MIB draft (draft-ietf-imss-fc-zs-mib)
will appear shortly; this message explains why.

The current version of the draft contains a normative
reference to a T11 working version of FC-SW-5.  In your WG
chair's expert opinion (your WG chair also chairs a working
group in T11), FC-SW-5 is not sufficiently stable to be
normatively referenced - it's actually in a relatively
early stage of development.

In consulting with the draft author (Keith), it has been
determined that the ZS MIB draft's reference to FC-SW-5
is superfluous - FC-SW-5 was referenced solely to indicate
where the Application_ID value allocated for the ZS MIB
would show up in a T11 standard.  The combination of the
letter documenting the allocation of the value (T11/06-679v0)
with FC-SW-4 is sufficient to implement the ZS MIB, and
hence these two will remain as normative references after
FC-SW-5 is removed.

The publication request for the ZS MIB will appear shortly
after the -03 version hits the Internet-Draft servers.

Thanks,
--David (imss WG chair)
