RE: draft of request to IANA
Dear Members of the IEEE 802.3.1 Ethernet MIB Modules Task Force,
The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group approved the submittal
of a request to IANA for additions to the IANA MAU MIB.
We made a minor change to the draft request that I circulated
on July 8th. The revised request is shown below. We changed the
order of the textual conventions and the object identities to
match the order in IEEE Std 802.3 Clause 30. I will be
submitting it to IANA next Friday. I will also ask the IEEE-SA
for permission to send .pdf copies of IEEE Std 802.3 Clause 30,
and IEEE Std 802.3.1 to IANA, for reference.

Request to IANA, as approved by IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group,

Which registry are you requesting this assignment/registration be made in?
The assignment of the IANAifMauTypeListBits and IANAifMauAutoNegCapBits textual conventions as well as the dot3MauType object identities is contained in the IANA-MAU-MIB. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group recently completed a project, known as IEEE Std 802.3.1-2011, that updated and republished the IETF RFCs that are relevant to the management of Ethernet interfaces. IEEE Std 802.3.1-2011 imports and makes extensive reference to the IANA-MAU-MIB.
If possible, please give a brief description of why you need this assignment/registration:
The new MAU types and the associated AutoNeg capability bits listed above were specified in recently approved amendments to IEEE Std 802.3-2008: IEEE Std 802.3ba-2010 and IEEE Std 802.3bg-2011. The description of the IANAifMauTypeListBits textual convention states that "...changes in this textual convention SHALL be synchronized with relevant changes in the dot3MauType OBJECT-IDENTITIES." The assignments are imported and referenced in the IEEE8023-MAU-MIB, which is defined in Clause 13 of IEEE Std 802.3.1-2011, "IEEE Standard for Management Information Base (MIB) Definitions for Ethernet."
Additional Information. Please include a reference to the specification or RFC (if available) that defines this number or name space:
IEEE Std 802.3-2008, subclauses 30.5.1.1.2 aMAUType and 30.6.1.1.5 aAutoNegLocalTechnologyAbility, as amended by IEEE Std 802.3ba-2010 and IEEE Std 802.3bg-2011.
