Re: [netmod] draft netmod charter update proposal

[Kent Watsen <[e-mail]>]

Hi NETMOD WG,

Please find below draft-4 having the following change:

 - added "(e.g., I2RS, RTGWG)" to a sentence.

Hi Sue, Lou and I looked at the proposed charter and found a sentence
that nicely describes our WG's intent to work with and support other
WGs (beyond NETCONF), but we felt that the text could be made more 
clear by adding in the above-mentioned change.  Beyond this, and the
existing a), b), and c), we believe that the charter proposal covers
our support for I2RS, do you agree?

Hi Mehmet, regarding putting a short description and the intended status 
for each draft into the charter, we understand that this is how NETCONF
charters are structured, but it is not our practice, as the information
is available at the top of each draft, and also because this information
need not be fixed when the milestone is added.

All, Any other comments?

Kent

Description of Working Group:

   The Network Modeling (NETMOD) working group is responsible for the YANG
   data modeling language, and guidelines for developing YANG models.  The
   NETMOD working group addresses general topics related to the use of the
   YANG language and YANG models, for example, the mapping of YANG modeled
   data into various encodings.  Finally, the NETMOD working group 
   also defines core YANG models used as basic YANG building blocks, and 
   YANG models that do not otherwise fall under the charter of any other 
   IETF working group.
  
The NETMOD WG is responsible for:

   a) Maintaining the data modeling language YANG.  This effort entails
      periodically updating the specification to address new requirements
      as they arise.

   b) Maintaining the guidelines for developing YANG models.  This effort
      is primarily driven by updates made to the YANG specification.

   c) Maintaining a conceptual framework in which YANG models are used.
      This effort entails describing the generic context that in YANG
      exists and how certain YANG statements interact in that context.
      An example of this is YANG's relationship with datastores.

   d) Maintaining encodings for YANG modeled data.  This effort entails
      updating encodings already defined by the NETMOD working (XML and
      JSON) to accommodate changes to the YANG specification, and defining
      new encodings that are needed, and yet do not fall under the charter
      of any other active IETF working group.

   e) Maintaining YANG models used as basic YANG building blocks.  This
      effort entails updating existing YANG models (ietf-yang-types and
      ietf-inet-types) as needed, as well as defining additional core YANG
      data models when necessary.

   f) Defining and maintaining YANG models that do not fall under the
      charter of any other active IETF working group.

   The NETMOD working group consults with the NETCONF working group to
   ensure that new requirements are understood and can be met by the
   protocols (e.g., NETCONF and RESTCONF) developed within that working
   group.  The NETMOD working group coordinates with other working groups
   (e.g., I2RS, RTGWG) on possible extensions to YANG to address new
   modeling requirements and, when needed, which group will run the
   process on a specific model.

   The NETMOD working group does not serve as a review team for YANG
   modules developed by other working groups. Instead, the YANG doctors,
   as organized by the OPS area director responsible for network
   management, will act as advisors for other working groups and provide
   YANG reviews for the OPS area directors.
