Hi all:

Here's my first draft of the minutes.  Please send me any corrections
comments or suggestions for changes.

Cheers, Nevil

Minutes of the EMAN meeting at IETF 83
Scribes: Mouli Chandramouli & Nevil Brownlee
Co-chairs: Bruce Nordman & Nevil Brownlee

Legend
------
[BC] = Benoit Claise      [JQ] = Juergen Quittek
[BT] = Brian Trammell     [JS] = Juergen Schoenwaelder
[DR] = Dan Romascanu      [MC] = Mouli Chandramouli
[ED] = Elwyn Davies       [RW] = Rolf Winter
[JP] = John Parello

Terminology
-----------
Presented by Nevil Brownlee on behalf of Jon Parello.
- Instead of 'Power Interface,' use 'Energy Interface' [JQ]
- The meeting reached consensus on 'Power Characteristics' as the term
   to be used instead of 'Power Quality' (judged by hum)
= Agreed to move 'terminology' into the Framework draft [RW & BC]

Requirements for Energy Management
----------------------------------
Presented by Juregen Quittek.
- Requirements should not be based on solutions! [BC]
- How persistent should time series measurements be? [DR]
- Energy management time series should be specified [JP & BT]
- Devices need to store time series; true for remote device [ED]
= Juergen will make new draft, ready for EG Last Call.

Energy-aware Networks and Devices MIB
-------------------------------------
Presented by Benoit Claise, [MC] will take over as Editor.
- Minimal conformance of some objects from the ENTITY-MIB
   [BC] proposed creating a new version, ENTITY-MIB-v4,
   Consensus to do this, [JQ, DR & MIB-Doctors to help]
- URI list to model all the children of a parent: 100 URIs max,
   20 URIs av = list length around 4k.  An arbitratry index
   instead of UUID could work better [JS]
= new version of draft needed.

Energy Management Framework
---------------------------
Presented by Benoit Claise, we need to decide who will be Editor.
- Aggregation of measured data was discussed; although this can
   be done by a manager, some devices may also do it [JQ].
   The disctinction between a physical device and a summations
   function needs to be made clear.
= new version of draft needed.

Power and Energy Monitoring MIB
-------------------------------
Presented by Mouli Chandramouli.
- Power State Sets: proposed to have these in an IANA Reggistry,
   changes subject to Expert Review
- Open issues: only issue 7 generated discussion.
- Issue 7: Device capabilities.  The meeting agreed that a single
   bit-map would be the best way to indicate a device's eman
   capabilities [DR]
= new version of draft needed

Battery MIB
-----------
Presented by Rolf Winter.
- batteryTable should augment the entPhysicalTable ENTITY-MIB
= new version, then WG Last Call

Applicability Statement
-----------------------
Presented by Mouli Chandramouli.
- This draft has six open issues, most of them need further discussion
   on the EMAN list.
- The question "does it matter whether some use cases overlap" was
   discussed.  The Chairs opinion was that some overlap was reasonable,
   as long as each use case demonstrated clearly how EMAN could be
   used to solve a real problem.
