Description of Working Group:

    The Character MIB Working Group is chartered to prepare a
    recommendation to the IESG evaluating RFCs 1316-1318 (the Character
    MIBs) with respect to the standards track.

    The recommendation will document implementation, interoperability,
    and deployment experience.  If these experiences suggest that
    changes should be made to the documents, new drafts may be
    prepared.  The recommendation will report one of four outcomes for
    each RFC:

       - That the RFC should be advanced from Proposed to Draft Standard status,
         without changes (if no problems are found);

       - That a draft prepared by the working group should replace the
         RFC, and be designated a Draft Standard (if only minor
         changes are made);

       - That a draft prepared by the working group should replace the
         RFC, and be designated a Proposed Standard (if major
         changes or feature enhancements are made); or,

       - That the RFC should be designated as Historic (if this
         technology is problematic).

Goals and Milestones:

  Done         Discussion and final approval of Charter; discussion on
               models and terminology. Make writing assignments.

  Done         Mailing list discussion of Charter and collection of
               concerns.

  Done         First draft document, discussion, additional drafts,
               special meeting?

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

  Done         Reactivation of Working Group to prepare the Character MIBs
               for Draft Standard.

  JUN 93       Post an Internet-Draft with the results of the survey of
               implementation and operational experiences with the
               Character MIBs. Post revised MIB documents if necessary.

  AUG 93       Submit the Character MIBs to the IESG for consideration as
               Draft Standards.
