Hi all... not sure where Ira retrieved the "announcement" from.
But for all I know, the documents are on the IESG agenda for
coming Thursday and Have NOT yet been approved.
So pls excercise a bot more patience.
Sorry to spoil the party.
Thanks,
Bert Wijnen, co-AD for the IETF Operations and Management Area

>> Great news!
>> After seven years of effort, the IESG has approved the Printer MIB v2

> (Informational).
>> Copies of the IESG approval notes to the RFC Editor are appended below
> (copied from the IETF Data Tracker search engine).
>> Thanks to the MIB experts, Bert Wijnen (IETF Ops & Mgmt Area
> Director),
> Dave Harrington, and Juergen Schoenwaelder, for significant technical
> improvements and clarifications to these MIBs over the last two years.
> Thanks to Ned Freed (IETF Applications Area Director) for shepherding
> these MIBs through the recent IETF 'last call'.
