Hi Tony, Ted,

seem to not be  a DNSOP specific thing: Obviously the inherent understanding of 
what consensus is at the time of creation of the textual representation of that 
consensus may be still ambiguous at time of writing to some, however may also 
become ambiguous over time, in part because over time ALL originators of a text 
might no longer be reachable for questions, and also there may be no snippets 
of text that could be cited from WG mailing lists.

Feels to me like something is needed as a tool to augment this, something that 
can more formally represent what the consensus requirements and definitions 
indeed are. IMHO to grow the set of representations of DNS in form of a suite 
of RFC7950 YANG based models could help for many such clarification cases, 
completely independent from the general usefulness of gaining an interoperable 
representation of DNS related data. 

BR, 
Normen
