[Rtg-yang-coord] FW: YANG Model Coordination Group - seeking candidates

["Adrian Farrel" <[e-mail]>]

FYI
 
I believe that these positions are complementary to the Routing YANG Technical
Coordinators, and I would expect all five people to work together closely
sharing information and ideas, with the work of coordination of the Routing
aspects continuing to be done by the Routing YANG Technical Coordinators.

Subject: YANG Model Coordination Group - seeking candidates
 
Dear all,

You may have seen this "IESG YANG Model Work Redistribution" message [1]:

A YANG Model Coordination group (a RFC2418 directorate) will be created by the
IESG to assist the AD and complement the work of the YANG Doctors, Operations
and Management Directorate, Routing Area Directorate, and IAB liaison managers.
The YANG doctors' responsibility to validate models remains unchanged. The YANG
Model Coordination group will consist of three members and report to the
Operations and Management AD that is responsible for the YANG Model work. 

The OPS ADs, in collaboration with the Routing ADs (since there is much
routing-related YANG modeling work) will select candidates for this YANG Model
Coordination Group.

The high level mission is: 
Help with the development and coordination of the numerous YANG models within
the IETF, and the promotion of YANG modeling in the industry.
Practically, we seek candidates:
- Familiar with YANG,
- Familiar with the IETF,
- Connected with (or aware of) the YANG data modeling efforts in the industry,
- Connected to YANG models implementation,
- Ready to commit approximately 1/3 of a full time job, for a period of one
year. The role of the YANG Model Coordination group will be re-assessed after
one year and may be continued. If so, new nominations will be sought and
existing members of the group will be able to stand again or step down. 

The job description consists of:
- Compiling, publishing, and maintaining an inventory of YANG models both
produced by the IETF and available at other locations.     
- Evaluating and documenting how the existing YANG models fit together. 
  Example: can the IGP, QoS, and ACL YANG models work together?
- Documenting and tracking open issues (especially the issues crossing drafts,
WGs, and areas) including issues of interaction and overlap of YANG models.
- Generating and leading the discussions on the resolution of the open issues,
in collaboration with the authors, WGs, WG chairs, YANG doctors, rtg-yang-coord
mailing list, and the appropriate ADs
- Participating in YANG model related design teams, as needed, to assist in the
coordination as well as technical work.
- Assisting with the coordination of design teams working to produce YANG models
that describe and enable the provisioning and management of services. 
- Documenting and tracking functionality missing from YANG models including
entire missing models. 
- Documenting YANG issues arising from YANG models
- Producing monthly reports for the IETF community and present a summary of
progress at each IETF meeting in the OPS-AREA meeting. 
- Close work with the OPS AD on building a community of YANG modelers that will
bring YANG work into the IETF as appropriate, and that will enable interactions
between IETF YANG models and models produced outside the IETF .
Note that the practical details of the daily job will be discussed with the
candidates.
   
If you are ready for the challenge, please let the Routing and OPS ADs know (
<mailto:[e-mail]> "[e-mail]"
<mailto:[e-mail]> <[e-mail]>rg>,
<mailto:[e-mail]> "[e-mail]"
<mailto:[e-mail]> <[e-mail]>)g>). 

We will accept candidates for a two weeks period starting now. The selected
candidates will be announced soon after.

Regards, Alia, Adrian, Joel, and Benoit
