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.
