Working Group,

We have just recalled draft-ietf-mpls-tp-te-mib from the IESG to the
working group for more work. We have a series of comments that are
mostly for clarification. However the main reason for recalling the
document is that there is one point where we need to confirm working
group consensus.

The IETF, the working group and the MIB Doctors are today very reluctant
to produce read-write MIB modules. The current draft is read-write for a 
few objects, this is based on a consensus call for an earlier
discussion, however the consensus call was not clear. It can be taken
to mean both that we want to go with read-write objects and that we
want to see read-only. Is it clear that it has been interpreted
differently by different individuals.

The authors and chairs have discussed the issue and we have a rough
consensus that we want the MIB module(s) to be read-only.

We therefore are asking the working group if this is OK for the MIB
module(s) in the current document. Please indicate Support or Oppose
for this MIB (draft-ietf-mpls-tp-te-mib) to be read-only.

Please send your comments to the working group mailing list before
February 18, 2014.
