Hi Tom, Thanks for your review. Please see below. <tp> On security, YANG Guidelines, RFC8407, says that there MUST be Security Considerations and that they MUST be patterned on the latest template. No exemption for read only or grouping only! For example, I note that you refer to HTTP whereas the template only uses HTTPS, underpinned by TLS. It is fine to say that the data is read only. It is also fine to say that the data is in the public domain and so privacy is not a concern. I have not yet seen a statement in an I-D that the integrity of the data is of no concern and so corruption by an evil actor e.g. by using HTTP insead of HTTPS is not a concern but perhaps that day will come:-) Whatever, I think that a number of AD will be looking for Security Considerations based on the template and you will be asked why not and I see that as easier to fix now rather than at IESG Review.

It may. That is why it's a grouping. Again, thanks for the review. Eliot
