Hi,

draft-ietf-opsawg-management-stds-02 has a section on "Network
Management Data Models" which is structured around FCAPS which I
happen to dislike for several reasons (data model work in the IETF is
not organized around FCAPS, the discussion is constantly changing
abstraction levels, some of the examples picked are somewhat
surprising). To be constructive, I have written a replacement for this
section that I think better summarizes what the IETF has to offer and
how data modeling work happens to be done in the IETF. In addition, it
is also shorter.

I do not mind if my proposed rewrite is followed by a section
discussing how all this fits into an FCAPS view of the world but such
a section should be much shorter and different from what is in the
current section 4. (For me, a short explanation that the IETF does not
organize data models around FCAPS is really sufficient but I guess
Mehmet and Benoit might not agree with that.)
