Hi,
I reviewed the document. Please find my comments below.

Metadata: Data that provides information about other data.
MGLT: This is actually how metadata is defined. However, it might be usefull
to provide an example, or conplete the definition. I an also wondering if
I2NSF only defines metadata associated to YANG models. If so woudl it be
relevant to mention RFC7952 ? The examples do not seem to ilustrate what
metadata is, instead they mention protocols that use YANG for which metadta
is defined.
Examples include IETF network management protocols (e.g. NETCONF,
RESTCONF, IPFIX) or IETF routing interfaces (I2RS). The I2NSF
security interface may utilize Metadata to describe and/or
prescribe characteristics and behavior of the YANG data models.
Network Security Function (NSF): Software that provides a set of
security-related services. Examples include detecting unwanted
activity and blocking or mitigating the effect of such unwanted
activity in order to fulfil service requirements. The NSF can
also help in supporting communication stream integrity and
confidentiality.
MGLT: It is not clear to me the relation between function and service. My
understanding is that service may involve multiple functions. But I believe
it would be helpful to position these two concepts - at least in this
definition.
Producer: A Producer is a Role that is assigned to an I2NSF
Component that can send information and/or commands to another
I2NSF Component. See also: Consumer, Role.
MGLT: Is Producer equivalent to provider ? If so maybe that would hepl to
use a single designation.
