Hi Ben, 

Thanks for providing your comments. 

The authors believe that this Info model draft has an archival value in and of itself as the difference between the IM and the DM is well specified in RFC3444. This draft, as a typical IM would, provides the relationship between the managed objects which cannot be easily described in DM. Recently information models in other SDOs have been an important work item in and of itself, independent of DM or protocol developments. In light of that, I believe this draft provides values for operators to understand high-level abstract models (with modeled objects and the whole set of primitives) of the two of key ACTN interfaces (CMI and MPI). Of course, this draft can also be beneficial for implementers for their detailed DM design and protocol development.  

In regard to your comment in section 9, I agree that three occurrences of "SHOULD" be replaced with a lower case. 

Thanks.
Young

What is the goal of publishing this as an RFC? It seems like an intermediate document that doesn't have archival value. I do not find publication of an information model mentioned on the TEAS charter, but maybe I missed it.

§9: There are three upper-case SHOULDs in this section, but no RFC 8174 or 2119 boilerplate. Normative keywords don't really seem appropriate for an information model, so perhaps they should be lower case?
