        Why wouldn't you do the models for those OAM functions where those 
functions are modeled already?  I don't see the need for a special WG that 
creates a subset of models that can done elsewhere like in LIME, or the Routing 
Area groups that are already chartered to do this stuff.  

[Linda] LIME addresses OAM for network layer, connectivity (link/port) 
failures, end to end performances measurement, whereas I2NSF is for security 
policies to be enforced by distributed (virtual) network security functions 
(vNSF). I2NSF provides a standard interface to express, monitor, and manage the 
security policies across distributed security functions that may be running on 
different premises.


        This leaves just doing requirements and a framework for this proposed 
group, which without clear goals to build things from is a WG looking for a 
reason to exist rather than the other way around.
