This document records the transfer of responsibility for the
Ethernet-related MIB modules DOT3-OAM-MIB, SNMP-REPEATER-MIB, POWER-
ETHERNET-MIB, DOT3-EPON-MIB, EtherLike-MIB, EFM-CU-MIB, ETHER-WIS and
MAU-MIB from the IETF to the IEEE 802.3 Working Group. This document
also describes the procedures associated with the transfer, in a
similar way as RFC 4663 which records the transfer of the IETF Bridge
MIB work to the IEEE 802.1 Working Group.

1. Introduction
[RFC4663], published in September, 2006, described a plan for
transferring responsibility for four MIB modules related to bridges
from the IETF to IEEE 802.1. Some years later, responsibility for
eight more MIB modules was transferred from the IETF Ethernet
Interfaces and Hub MIB (hubmib) Working Group to the IEEE 802.3
Working Group. The MIB modules concerned are tabulated below
(Section 2). [RFC4663] clearly enunciates the motivation for both
transfers and also provides an introduction to IEEE standardization
procedures. The discussions of those topics will not be repeated
here.
The IEEE version of this second lot of transferred MIB modules was
published as 802.3.1-2011 in February, 2011. The IEEE 802.3.1
specification was subsequently updated. The latest version, IEEE
802.3.1-2013 [IEEE802.3.1-2013], is the basis for this document.
2. IETF and Corresponding IEEE 802.3 MIB modules
This section tabulates the MIB modules that were transferred to IEEE
802.3, identifying the IETF source document, the corresponding clause
of [IEEE802.3.1-2013], and the location of the MIB itself in ASCII
format.

3. Procedural Aspects Of the Transfer
3.1. IEEE MIB Modules in ASCII Format
The content of Section 2.2 of [RFC4663] is accurate also for this
document.
3.2. OID Registration for New MIB Modules
The IEEE 802.3 WG adopted the approach recommended in [RFC4663],
Section 2.3 of developing an IEEE MIB module and defining new
compliance clauses under the IEEE OID branch. Information about the
IEEE 802.3 Management Registration Arcs can be found at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/arcs/index.html.
3.3. Mailing List Discussions
The Ethernet Interfaces and Hub MIB WG has completed its documents,
and the WG was closed in September 2007. The mailing list stayed
open for a while, and was closed a few years later. The appropriate
mailing list for IEEE 802.3 MIB modules discussion is STDS-802-3-
MIB@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG.
To see general information about 802.3, including how they work and
how to participate, go to http://www.ieee802.org/3/.

3.4. IETF MIB Doctor Reviews
The content of Section 5 of [RFC4663] is accurate also for this
document, noting that from the point of view of the present document,
802.3 should replace 802.1 wherever it occurs in the text.
4. Security Considerations
This document records the transfer of ownership of Ethernet-related
MIB modules to IEEE 802.3.1 several years ago. The transfer has no
security implications.
5. IANA Considerations
This document requires no actions by IANA.
6. IPR Considerations
See Section 9 of [RFC4663].
7. Acknowledgements
Thanks to Juergen Schoenwaelder and Howard Frazier for their reviews
and comments on both the initial and the present versions of this
document. During Working Group Last Call, Warren Kumari caught a
nit, and Thomas Petch raised the point of ownership versus
responsibility that resulted in some wording changes in the Abstract
and Introduction.
