Re: [i2rs] Kathleen Moriarty's No Objection on draft-ietf-i2rs-yang-l3-topology-08: (with COMMENT)

Martin: 

I'm sorry if misunderstood your comments regarding the
draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores-00.txt.  The reason the answer is
unclear is that it depends on the context of the question. 

.         If you ask if the pre-standardization I2RS Yang Topology models
(basic and L3)  implemented are part of the configuration data store, the
answer is yes - AFAIK. 

.         If you ask if the WG LC Topology models are approved to be part of
the configuration data store, my understanding was no.   I2RS WG was to
abide by the decision of NETMOD WG on which data store I2RS modules were
placed in. 

If you are concerned the implementation varies from the standardized, please
express this to Benoit Claise.   Based on your comments on my email thread,
I will be brief in my answers today.  

Sue

Why do you think that I have any objection to
draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores-00.  Please re-read what I wrote.

My objection regards your statement:

   1) I2RS Data models do not utilize the configuration data store, 

If this is true it needs to be clarified in the document.

After all these emails back and forth, it is still not clear whether this
statement is true or not.
