Hi, Please see below inline with [Qiufang]...
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2026 7:35 AM To: maqiufang (A) <[email protected]>; Qin Wu <[email protected]>; [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [AD] Re: Final Review: RFC-to-be 10016 (draft-ietf-netmod-system-config) in XML Authors and *AD, While reviewing this document during Final Review, please resolve (as necessary) the following questions, which are also in the source file. *AD, please review question #5 below. 1) <!--[rfced] We note that most of the recently published RFCs containing YANG modules format their titles as "A YANG Data Model for...", for example: RFC 9094 - A YANG Data Model for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSONs) RFC 9093 - A YANG Data Model for Layer 0 Types RFC 9067 - A YANG Data Model for Routing Policy Please consider whether the title of this document should be updated. Current: System-Defined Configuration Perhaps: A YANG Data Model for System-Defined Configuration --> [Qiufang] The Current is better. This draft defines more than a YANG data model. 2) <!--[rfced] Per guidance from Section 2 of RFC 8340, we moved the lines in the YANG tree diagram (in Section 7.1) over two spaces to the left. Please review and let us know of any objections. --> [Qiufang] Okay. No objections. 3) <!--[rfced] Because XML examples are present in this document, we added a citation to W3C in Section 7.3 and a corresponding entry under the Informative References section. Please let us know if this is agreeable or if you prefer otherwise. Original: The following example shows how the configuration in <system> could be retrieved in a NETCONF <get-data> RPC operation. The example uses the "example-application" fictional data model defined in Appendix A.1. Current: The following example shows how the configuration in <system> could be retrieved in a NETCONF <get-data> RPC operation. The example uses XML [W3C.XML1.0] and the "example-application" fictional data model defined in Appendix A.1. --> [Qiufang] Perhaps: OLD: The following example shows how the configuration in <system> could be retrieved in a NETCONF <get-data> RPC operation. The example uses XML [W3C.XML1.0] and the "example-application" fictional data model defined in Appendix A.1. NEW: The following example shows how the configuration in <system> could be retrieved in a NETCONF <get-data> RPC operation. The example uses the "example-application" fictional data model defined in Appendix A.1 and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) [W3C.XML1.0] encoding. 4) <!--[rfced] FYI - In Section 7.3, note that we moved the example over three spaces to the left because "xmlns:sysds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system-datastore">" was 3 characters over the limit. --> [Qiufang] Okay. 5) <!--[rfced] *[AD] We have altered some text in the Security Considerations section to match the boilerplate text at <https://wiki.ietf.org/group/ops/yang-security-guidelines>. Also note that paragraph 4 varies from the template (we attempted to make it match more closely). Please review and let us know if any further updates are needed or if the text is agreeable as is. --> [Qiufang] Mahesh will comment this , but why not replace [YANG-GUIDE] with [RFC9907]? 6) <!--[rfced] Note that the YANG module examples have been updated per the formatting option of pyang. Please let us know any concerns. a) example-application has been updated as follows: prefix "ex-app" -> prefix ex-app prefix "inet" -> prefix inet b) example-acl has been updated as follows: prefix "ex-acl" -> prefix ex-acl prefix "ex-app" -> prefix ex-app prefix "inet" -> prefix inet c) example-interface has been updated as follows: prefix "ex-if" -> prefix ex-if prefix "inet" -> prefix inet key name -> key "name" d) example-interface-management has been updated as follows: prefix "ex-ifm" -> prefix ex-ifm prefix "inet" -> prefix inet --> [Qiufang] All above are good. 7) <!--[rfced] We note that the following system configuration terms are hyphenated. Are these specific terms that should always appear hyphenated? We are confirming because adverbs ending in "ly" are not typically hyphenated in the RFC Series, and we could not find the hyphenated forms of these terms in past RFCs. If the hyphens are not essential, we would remove them from "immediately-present" and "conditionally-present", and we would hyphenate "always present" only when in attributive position (i.e., when followed by a noun). Please let us know your preference. always-present conditionally-present immediately-present --> [Qiufang] Okay to remove the hyphen. 8) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We have added expansions for the following abbreviations per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each expansion in the document carefully to ensure correctness. Access Control List (ACL) Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) --> [Qiufang] Looks good to me. 9) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language> and let us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers. Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should still be reviewed as a best practice. --> [Qiufang] I do not think any changes are needed. Thanks. I do have one additional comment, in the Acknowledgements section, could you please update the following names: OLD: Balazs Lengyel NEW: Balázs Lengyel OLD: Martin Bjorklund NEW: Martin Björklund OLD: Juergen Schoenwaelder NEW: Jürgen Schönwälder Best Regards, Qiufang Thank you.

Please note that the TXT will have formatting limitations compared to the PDF and HTML. Submitting changes ------------------ To submit changes, please reply to this email using 'REPLY ALL' as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties include: * your coauthors * [email protected] (the RPC team) * other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the responsible ADs, and the document shepherd). * [email protected], which is an archival mailing list to preserve discussion about the document while in the RPC editorial queue; it is not an active discussion list: * More info: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc * The archive itself: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/ * Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter). If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, [email protected] will be re-added to the CC list and its addition will be noted at the top of the message. You may submit your changes in one of two ways: An update to the provided XML file — OR — An explicit list of changes in this format Section # (or indicate Global) OLD: old text NEW: new text You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit list of changes, as either form is sufficient. We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text, and technical changes. Information about stream managers can be found in the FAQ. Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.
