[Idr] Re: New Liaison Statement, "oLS to IETF on BGP data model"

Hello All,

The BGP-4 YANG model document has gone through WGLC and has been waiting
for implementations for more than 2 years now. I am not sure of its current
status - I do see warnings and errors being reported on the YANG.

All 3 IDR chairs are authors on it and the IDR Secretary is the document
shepherd. I recognize this odd situation. However, a decision on the future
of this document is now overdue. This Liaison is a good trigger for the WG
to make a decision (and within a timeframe so the Liaison can be responded
to).

As AD, I've already expressed my view that an exception to the 2
implementation rule be sought from the WG for this document so it can be
published as an RFC. I believe it was in Madrid where I had expressed that
view, but perhaps even before that. If there is consensus to proceed with
that exception, this can be progressed - else it just stays waiting for
implementation and the WG will need to give a suitable response to BBF.

Sue, Jeff, Keyur, and Jie, could you please take this topic up as a
priority request from me for discussion at your next meeting? Please let
the WG know your thoughts and if there is anything that you would like me
to do, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ketan
