The IESG has received a request from the Network Modeling WG (netmod) to consider the following document: - 'Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of YANG Data Model Documents' <draft-ietf-netmod-rfc6087bis-18.txt> as Best Current Practice 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 2018-03-07. 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 memo provides guidelines for authors and reviewers of Standards Track specifications containing YANG data model modules. Applicable portions may be used as a basis for reviews of other YANG data model documents. Recommendations and procedures are defined, which are intended to increase interoperability and usability of Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF protocol implementations that utilize YANG data model modules. This document obsoletes RFC 6087. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc6087bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-rfc6087bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc6021: Common YANG Data Types (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc7950: The YANG 1.1 Data Modeling Language (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc4741: NETCONF Configuration Protocol (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc4742: Using the NETCONF Configuration Protocol over Secure SHell (SSH) (Proposed Standard - IETF stream)
