Punt to WG• 578 - organizationEUI

– The definition of organizationEUI is not a definition, its a functional specification for a specific service primitive.

– Since it can also be used by Clause 10, this is inappropriate. Redefine in clause 3 as:

• 11.2.1.2 organizationEUI: A 64-bit unique value that specifies the format and meaning of other data bytes.

• 610 - EUI– The term "EUI" is a shorthand for the IEEE term

EUI64, of which this is an instance.– Since it can also be used by Clause 10, this is

inappropriate. Redefine in clause 3 as ‘EUI64’.

Ongoing review Issues

• IETF MIB experts will be informed of the disposition of their comments and continue to be offered to provide comments on future WG ballots
