Dean,

See in-line.
Benoit,

You describe the situation really well, but as next step we have to get more 
organized and more coordination in modeling work. We have to make sure that 
there is not too much overlap between efforts, not too waste resources 
... and inconsistencies between data models, which is my primary concern.

Let's take one example: policies. I see policies in many YANG models. How do 
we make sure the policie definitions are consistent and extensible? How can 
we coordinate this (huge) effort? Who is in charge? The collective 
responsibility might not be enough…

        Coordination is only one issue: its operational efficacy that is also 
of paramount importance here. We should do what we’ve done in NETMOD's “design 
teams”: pair up people that are truly implementing functionality in real or 
virtual devices with operators to ensure that the models created are grounded 
in the realities of implementation and deployment. 

        —Tom



and as well create an architecture description document, where the 
relationship between models will be described. With that we can see which 
models can be reused as base model in other models. 
Good example of coordination is the rtg-coord-yang mailing list, but we need 
one for all IETF, to be able to find what are other the teams working on.
Right.

Regards, Benoit

We should not let this momentum go away and with few simple steps (like 
improving coordination and system meta architecture), continue to feed 
positive energy into this situation.
