Re: [OPSAWG] network management data models - a rewrite

["Ersue, Mehmet (NSN - DE/Munich)" <[e-mail]>]

Dear Juergen,

thank you for your contribution. It is valuable and fits the discussion 
in the OPSAWG session for the second view in the document.

Please comment on the examples you find as not suitable.

As discussed and agreed in the OPSAWG session (by the persons in the 
session; unfortunately you were not in the meeting room at that time) 
the best approach is to have both views in the document.

data model survey as a guidance for the audience outside of the IETF. 
The survey can be for sure tuned or optimized as necessary. However,
we should strive for a publishing soon rather than having more cycles.
