The module ietf-te-types is imported in both ietf-te-topology module and ietf-te module, so a separation would help progress these drafts.

I am not sure it helps progress any of the documents. And I do not think that that should be reason to split the draft. The reason has to be because the types defined are used by multiple modules. If it is just another draft that needs this type, you might still be better off leaving them in one of the drafts.

Separating them does not make them go any faster. You will need to have a normative reference to where the te types are defined, and if the document containing te types is not ready, it will cause other drafts to be stuck in MISREF.

In both of the draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-topo-yang <https://tools.ietf.org/wg/ccamp/draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-topo-yang/> (speficy module ietf-otn-topology) and draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-tunnel-model <https://tools.ietf.org/wg/ccamp/draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-tunnel-model/> (specify module ietf-otn-tunnel), the module ietf-otn-types (currently also defined in draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-tunnel-model <https://tools.ietf.org/wg/ccamp/draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-tunnel-model/>)was imported. To address the potential issue on publish topology without mature types supporting, two possible approaches would be helpful, 1) split out the otn-types as a separate draft, as how teas WG is doing; 2) move the current otn-types into draft-otn-topology, which will probably come earlier than draft-otn-tunnel, as how WSON-specific module is doing.

Do not think that helps. YANG doctors like to see not just the types, but how they are used. You should send the documents as a bundle.
