An updated version of the APPN MIB is now available on the AIW FTP
server, in the /appn/mibs directory.  This version reflects everything
agreed to in the MIBs SIG meeting at AIW9.  It also reflects the time
stamping solution developed for the APPC MIB.  The specific changes to
the time-stamp-related objects in the APPN MIB are the following:

                 AppnTimeStamp (TC).........remove
                 appnNodeUpTime.............change to TimeTicks
                 appnNodeStartTime..........remove
                 appnLsMaxDelayTime.........change to DateAndTime
                 appnLsStartTime............remove
                 appnLsActiveTime...........remains TimeTicks
                 appnLsCurrentStateTime.....remains TimeTicks
                 appnLsStatusTime...........change to DateAndTime
                 appnIsInGlobeCtrStatusTime.change to TimeTicks
                 appnIsInGlobeRscvTime......change to TimeTicks
                 appnIsInSessStartTime......remove
                 appnIsInSessUpTime.........change to TimeTicks
                 appnIsInCtrUpTime..........change to TimeTicks

As we agreed at AIW9, we're planning to hold an interim meeting of
the MIBs SIG in late January, with a goal of getting electronic AP
status for the APPN MIB two weeks afterward.  This will in turn lead
to a CP draft in late February or early March, CP status at AIW 10
in late March, and submission to the IETF shortly after that.
We'll schedule the interim meeting after everyone re-surfaces in
January.  Right now we're looking at holding the meeting some time
in the week of January 22.
