Hi Kent,

Re-reading Juergen's email, I think that his main concern was whether there would be sufficient reviewers of this draft. It is slightly tricky because this draft is covering configuration that I believe many network device vendors require and support to make their devices function in a sensible fashion, but are not standardized anywhere because until YANG came along there has been little need to do so (since the features don't generally need to inter-operate between devices).

In terms of milestones, I agree with Juergen, that it is really the cross reviews from other device vendors that is most important. I.e. to confirm that these configuration knobs are generally applicable to a broad set of devices. So I would think that the next steps would consist of:
 - confirmation that this configuration is generally common across vendors.
- check whether there is any other common interface level configuration that is missing and should also be covered. - see if it is possible to agree on some more concrete default values for some of the settings. - see if there is any additional operational state that should also be made available. I think that it is likely that some needs to be added. - see if any further explanation or documentation of the defaults described in this draft are required.

However, I don't think that this really should end up being a large YANG module, or that it should take a particularly long time to standardize, presuming that we can get the reviews and agreement of course.

Does that help clarify your/Juergen's concerns?

Thanks,
Rob

The chairs were just reviewing notes and realized that this thread never closed properly.

Juergen has some concerns regarding realistic milestones, that were never addressed. Robert, can you please try to address Juergen’s concerns now?

Also, there were only a two responses before indicating willingness to review the draft as it progresses (thanks Dan and Martin). Can others that support this draft and willing to review this draft say so?

Thanks,
Netmod Chairs

The minutes for IETF 94 show that there was in-room support for adopting draft-wilton-netmod-intf-ext-yang as a WG draft. The minutes also show that this decision would be confirmed on the mailing list, which I am doing now.

Should we move to adopt draft-wilton-netmod-intf-ext-yang as a WG item and correspondingly add this to the WG charter as a milestone? Please comment by Tuesday, December 22, 2015 at 9AM EST at which time the WG Chairs will gauge whether or not there is consensus to move forward with the document.

Thanks,
Kent
