One of the things that came up in a number of discussions I had in Hawaii and afterwards was around the coordination and encouragement topics. A number of people commented both during these discussions (and I think someone did during one of the Netmod sessions) that the “MIB Doctor” model we are using is not going to scale out to the numbers of Yang models that are in need of advice or review, nor will be scale in terms of progressing models through the IETF’s RFC process. The fact is that we simply do not have enough Yang Doctors to cover all of the models in question, despite our best efforts. It is for this reason that I strongly encourage other venues of review and advice such as a continued “advice” or “Yangathon” session at each IETF meeting going forward, as well as encouraging a loosening of the interim WG meeting rules to encourage more meetings, as well as perhaps less formalized ones. I also encourage the IETF to start pairing up with other organizations such as OpenDaylight, Openstack and OP-NFV and join their Yangathons there. —Tom
