Re: [babel] I-D Action: draft-ietf-babel-information-model-14.txt

Hi Barbara,

It looks to me like it is just the milestone that says Proposed Standard
for the Information Model. Procedurally, Since the Information Model is
through the process and could just go to the RFC Editor, changing it from
Informational to Proposed Standard would be somewhat painful. On the other
hand, just re-running a brief WG Last Call for the YANG Model after making
the information Model reference normative, if that's really necessary, with
notice of the downref, would be relatively easy.

Thanks,
Donald
