Apologies if I was not clear in stating my question.  I did not
mean to imply that a new Working Group would be formed.  When I was
referring to 'the Working Group' I meant the Operations and
Management Area.

Stated another way, I am curious about what the goals of the
Draft  are.  To me, infrastructure management tools could
include at least the following:-

»·······configuration database
»·······configuration generator
»·······tool to push the config to the network

»·······trend analysis tools 
»·······billing collection

»·······tools to evaluate network health 

This however seems like quite a lot to cover, so that is the
reason that I asked about the scope of the Draft.

Apologies if my earlier wording was poorly thought out.
