Hi Ketan, Thanks for your reply. We have recorded your approval at the AUTH48 status page for this document (see link below).
Note: we have made two slight tweaks to the module per pyang formatting guidance: 1) Moved the namespace “urn…” onto the same line. 2) Fixed the indent of the yang parameters url. You may see the changes highlighted in the side-by-side diffs (htmlwdiff does not highlight). Please let us know any objections. The files have been posted here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983.txt https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983.pdf https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983.html https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983.xml The diff files have been posted here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983-diff.html (comprehensive) https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983-rfcdiff.html (side by side) https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983-auth48diff.html (AUTH48 changes only) https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9983-auth48rfcdiff.html (side by side) The AUTH48 status page is viewable here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9983 Thank you.
