Tom, 

At IETF 113 I2NSF session, we had a good discussion of the comparison of 
draft-ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm & 
draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm, from Top Level YANG Tree, Event, 
Condition and Action. 

Here is the summary: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/113/materials/slides-113-i2nsf-comparison-of-consumer-facing-and-nsf-facing-data-models-00

Since you didn't join the discussion, can you please look over the comparison 
and see if they are any issues? 

Thank you very much, 

Linda Dunbar

Yes!

I see capability-data-model as being the core I-D from which the others stem 
(ideally with a common module of YANG and definitions:-).  I was still catching 
up with the repeated revisions of that when nsf-facing and nsf-monitoring went 
forward. IMHO the IESG could have had a easier time if the lessons of 
capability had been applied to the latter two before seeking to progress them; 
easy to say in hindsight.

I think Ben's DISCUSS on capability 2/2/22 are key.  He points out that the 
level of detail expected is unclear.  What does monitoring on a routing header 
mean?  All of them, including future ones, any one or what?  Obvious now Ben 
has said so but I never thought of it. Looking back at RFC8329 I see no mention 
of routing headers being part of this work (where are the authors of RFC8329 
when we need them?).  Ben also comments that a base capability is ambiguous - 
can it be used per se as in derived-from-or self or only as derived-from?  
Likewise the resolution strategies are obvious until Ben points out that they 
are not defined anywhere that he (or I) can see.  I note that one of them has 
disappeared from capabiity -26 but like most of the changes to this and the 
other I-Ds, there is no consensus for this change because there has been no 
discussion within the WG.

This lack of consensus is to me the defining characteristic of the I2NSF WG.  
At AD review you asked for expanded definitions in a few cases and got them 
which seemed fine.  Then a ..art reviewer asks for a whole lot more and gets 
them.  As I commented, to me this is a lack of familiarity on the part of the 
..art reviewer and for most people involved, like you, like me, like other 
..art reviewers, the existing definitions are adequate.  And this is a 
multi-headed hydra because the new text takes the I-D out of line with the 
other I-D (my bane), with other parts of the same I-D, and, as many have 
commented, the English often needs attention and so any change to the text is 
likely to generate further change and may even be unclear or worse.  The 
changes made generate issues faster than I can point them out so the number of 
unfixed issues increases exponentially.  Several of Ben's or Lars's textual 
comments I have marked in my copy as issues to raise when I have raised the 
larger, more 
 technical ones; I could have saved Ben and Lars some time (as a WG should do).

Out of many such I would highlight the use of 'l4' or 'layer4'.  Some time ago 
I pointed out that this was unusual in the IETF, 'transport' 
being more common and this was duly changed in the identity.  A reviewer of 
nsf-monitoring found the word 'port', used in the context of ipv4/ipv6, 
ambiguous and suggested 'l4port' which was duly incorporated in some parts of 
that particular I-D and not in others and not in the other I-Ds (my bane 
again).  As before, I think the need to qualify 'port' is more of a comment on 
the reviewer and not on the I-D:-) Had the issue been raised on the list I 
would have objected!

So:
- the rate of change on these I-Ds is high (I have yet to catch up with all 
those that appeared in January and February)
- no change has WG consensus because nothing is discussed on the WG list
- changes are made to one part of one I-D without being reflected in other 
parts of that I-D or in the other related I-D
- changes lack clarity and so raise further issues requiring change.

For me, the root cause is the way of working of the WG, unlike any other I am 
involved with in that comments made by ...art, by me, do not get reviewed, 
discussed.  Nothing has consensus.  Coupled with this is the high rate of 
change induced by the authors - sometimes I can see where the change came from, 
other times I cannot - and the lack of a clear scope for the work, e.g. a lack 
of alignment with RFC8329 which ought to be the high-level definition of what 
this work is about.
