Dear all,
We finished the interviews regarding the YANG Model Coordination Group.
We were lucky to discuss with many good candidates, and we are pleased
to let you know the following persons have been selected:
Deborah Brungard
Dean Bogdanovic
Dave Meyer
Carl Moberg
On purpose, the different skills within the team are complementary:
technical, management, development, and coordination skills. On top of
that, a lot of connections to many different SDOs, consortia, and
opensource groups.
Yes, the goal was to select three persons, but we could not resist
having more great people in the team.
This group can be reached at yang-coord(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.
Regards, Alia, Adrian, Joel, and Benoit
Dear all,
You may have seen this "IESG YANG Model Work Redistribution" message [1]:
A YANG Model Coordination group (a RFC2418 directorate) will be
created by the IESG to assist the AD and complement the work of the
YANG Doctors, Operations and Management Directorate, Routing Area
Directorate, and IAB liaison managers. The YANG doctors'
responsibility to validate models remains unchanged. The YANG Model
Coordination group will consist of three members and report to the
Operations and Management AD that is responsible for the YANG Model work.
The OPS ADs, in collaboration with the Routing ADs (since there is
much routing-related YANG modeling work) will select candidates for
this YANG Model Coordination Group.
The high level mission is:
Help with the development and coordination of the numerous YANG
models within the IETF, and the promotion of YANG modeling in the
industry.
Practically, we seek candidates:
- Familiar with YANG,
- Familiar with the IETF,
- Connected with (or aware of) the YANG data modeling efforts in the
industry,
- Connected to YANG models implementation,
- Ready to commit approximately 1/3 of a full time job, for a period
of one year. The role of the YANG Model Coordination group will be
re-assessed after one year and may be continued. If so, new
nominations will be sought and existing members of the group will be
able to stand again or step down.
The job description consists of:
- Compiling, publishing, and maintaining an inventory of YANG models
both produced by the IETF and available at other locations.
- Evaluating and documenting how the existing YANG models fit together.
Example: can the IGP, QoS, and ACL YANG models work together?
- Documenting and tracking open issues (especially the issues crossing
drafts, WGs, and areas) including issues of interaction and overlap of
YANG models.
- Generating and leading the discussions on the resolution of the open
issues, in collaboration with the authors, WGs, WG chairs, YANG
doctors, rtg-yang-coord mailing list, and the appropriate ADs
- Participating in YANG model related design teams, as needed, to
assist in the coordination as well as technical work.
- Assisting with the coordination of design teams working to produce
YANG models that describe and enable the provisioning and management
of services.
- Documenting and tracking functionality missing from YANG models
including entire missing models.
- Documenting YANG issues arising from YANG models
- Producing monthly reports for the IETF community and present a
summary of progress at each IETF meeting in the OPS-AREA meeting.
- Close work with the OPS AD on building a community of YANG modelers
that will bring YANG work into the IETF as appropriate, and that will
enable interactions between IETF YANG models and models produced
outside the IETF .
Note that the practical details of the daily job will be discussed
with the candidates.
If you are ready for the challenge, please let the Routing and OPS ADs
know ("ops-ads(_at_)tools(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org" <ops-ads(_at_)tools(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org>,
"rtg-ads(_at_)tools(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org" <rtg-ads(_at_)tools(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org>).
We will accept candidates for a two weeks period starting now. The
selected candidates will be announced soon after.
Regards, Alia, Adrian, Joel, and Benoit
