FW: New OPS-AD needed

For those who are not on the main IETF list and who were not at the
OPS Area Open meeting in Vancouver.

Subject: New OPS-AD needed

The emails from Alex and Scott reminded me that I also 
want to publicly announce that I will not re-up, in 
other words that I will be stepping down in March.

I have enjoyed doing the AD job a lot. I have to admit that
there are also several less pleasant aspects in the AD job.
But all in all I am glad I did get the opportunity to learn
so much and to have been able to interact with so many people 
about all sorts of technical and organizational and process
topics. 

But 8 years I think is enough, and I think it is time
for new blood for the Netowrk Management side of the OPS Area.

Thank you all for your trust and confidence in my being an AD.
And pls help the nomcom find a good candidate or better candidates!

Bert

FYI and possible comments.

Pls let me know if you feel we (IETF) need to do something because of this.

Subject: [New-work] OMA New Work - 1 New Work Item Approved

Dear All,
OMA would like to inform all the organisations subscribed to the IETF new-work list of the approval of 1 new
work item:
1 Device Management Smartcard WI:
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/ftp/Public_documents/TP/Permanent_documents/OMA-WID_0126-DM_SC-V1_0-20051108-A.zip
The primary objective of the Device Management Working Group is to specify protocols and mechanisms to
manage distributed mobile wireless devices, in order to optimise subscriber's experience, reduce the
network operating costs and create new business opportunities. 
The DM group has decided that several requirements (functionalities) unfulfilled in DM enabler 1.2, and
also new ones, would not be dealt by a later DM enabler release, but likely in new enablers that would refer
to and interoperate in a consistent manner with DM 1.2. Concerning the Smart Card functionalities, it was
agreed to have a new work item dealing with them. The main Smart Card functionalities to be covered by this
WI are (but not limited to): 
.          Defining a secure dynamic provisioning of Management Objects available on the Smart Card; 
.          definition and description of Smart Card Management Objects;
.          Security extension for DM enablers using Smart Cards.
.          Secure management of Management Objects (including private and sensitive data) in the Smart Card. It
would include: MO's update in the SC over-the-air, MO's update in the DM-client and synchronization with
the SC, new MO's storage in the SC after manufacturing, etc.

I am not sure how far the IETF will go here. I do see this work equal
to the concept of we open a new WG for a specific MIB. This case the
SMART-CARD-MIB.

A personally, see a bigger need for mappings of managed
objects defined for SNMP (as MIBs) and Device Management of OMA.
I already have seen some questions on a SyncML malinglist
regarding the 'standardization' of managed objects for Device
Managment in the OMA perspective. I guess the IETF could assist
there by specifying something similar as we use for managed objects
of MIB modules, standardized objects and vendor specific ones
(where each vendor has a branch).
I started some time ago an internet-draft for this, but due to
lack of time I did not finish it yet to a decent state of
publication.

The way to get access to the managed objects I see more as
specific for the environment.

IMS and MIB requirements

In this article:

   http://www.billingworld.com/archive-detail.cfm?archiveId=7705

I read:

   Stories abound of equipment manufacturers struggling to deliver not
   only systems that support IMS, but also solid Management Information
   Base (MIB) databases that make their gear manageable. A source inside
   BellSouth who has spent the past several months working on the LEC's
   VoIP architecture says that major equipment manufacturer has lost an
   opportunity to supply application servers based on the lack of
   reasonable MIBs. If this is the type of basic problem holding up
   IMS development, it's clear that most IMS gear is simply not ready
   to come out of the oven yet. "We're still seeing 24-month [estimates]
   before we see widespread deployment of standard systems," says
   Syndesis' Nicholson. 

which kind of surprises me, namely that the IMS infrastructure seems
in need of MIB modules.

Does anyone have any insights/comments/other-data-points?

Bert
