The IESG has received a request from the Layer Independent OAM Management in the Multi-Layer Environment WG (lime) to consider the following document: - 'Retrieval Methods YANG Data Model for Connectionless Operations, Administration, and Maintenance(OAM) protocols' <draft-ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods-09.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-10-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document presents a retrieval method YANG Data model for connectionless OAM protocols. It provides technology-independent RPC operations for connectionless OAM protocols. The retrieval methods model presented here can be extended to include technology specific details. This is leading to uniformity between OAM protocols and support both nested OAM workflows (i.e., performing OAM functions at different levels through a unified interface) and interacting OAM workflows ( i.e., performing OAM functions at same levels through a unified interface). The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-methods/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
