A further question: do you have guidance on reading order for these drafts?  

If so, please let us know using an RFC NNNN, RFC NNNN+1, RFC NNNN+2 format. 

draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm-29 
draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model-20 
draft-ietf-i2nsf-applicability-18 
draft-ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model-32
