CallSignalling and H.245 proposals - There was no substantive input. After updating with H.323 textual conventions, will be resubmitted for Cannes meeting.
RTP MIB placement - Rather than have it stand alone, as was suggested in Yokosuka, it was decided to propose bringing it under the Multimedia OID Tree. This will be done for APC-1380 in Cannes.
Status of Action Items 1. George Kajos - Publish meeting minutes (this report) and schedule next conference. - This document. 2. George Kajos - Confer with ISO and IETF network management experts regarding placement of H.Multimedia MIB. - During the previous week, George discussed the status of the SG4 liaison with Gary Thom. Gary knows of no response yet. During the meeting the issue was discussed again. There is the concern that it isn*t possible to register SNMPv2 MIBs in an ISO tree. One issue, though not confirmed, is administrative authority. Another would be a perceived requirement that the MIBs be converted into a format appropriate for ISO CMIP management. There remains the strong desire to get feedback on this work from the IETF. Finally, it was mentioned a fallback plan would be to register the H.Multimedia MIB tree under an Enterprise number. Mark Baugher related this view to Steve Casner from the AVT working group. Steve felt that the work should be brought into the IETF. Pending result of June meeting, we will do this for the August IETF meeting. 3. Group - Research us of Global counters as they relate to usefulness in fault isolation and performance monitoring in network management applications - In an effort to compromise the number of counters in the RAS MIB was reduced to 29 counters stressing error conditions and the confirmations to rejections ratio. 4. Group - Admission table indices - Issue of index uniqueness waiting for example of a problem. 5. Group - Admission and CallSignalling Tables - Issue that there should be index correlation between the Admission Table and the CallSignalling MIB Call Table. However, there is no requirement that a direct call model gatekeeper support H.225 Q.931 making this somewhat difficult. The action item is on hold pending resolution. 6. Group - Registration and Zone Tables index correlation- It was pointed out that an indirect correlation exists and is sufficient. Unless there is further objection, this issue is closed. 7. Michael Thatcher - Send revised APC-1349 and textual conventions MIB to mailing list - done 8. Irina Suconick - update APC-1346, APC-1347, and APC-1348 to use textual conventions described in document sent to mailing list by Michael Thatcher - to be done for Cannes meeting. 9. Joon Maeng - H.320 MIB - to be done for Cannes meeting. 10. Zvi Mizrahy and a colleague - Gateway MIB proposal - to be done for the Cannes meeting. 11. Group - review H.225 CallSignalling and H.245 MIBs - to be updated and resubmitted to the Cannes meeting.
