Tom: 

The WG consensus runs into the problems that there are 3 types of changes to
the drafts: 

a) content additions/changes to model  
b) changes for refactoring of the yang  models  
c) textual changes that do not impact the model. 

As  mentioned in my response to Roman that it seems

a) Content additions/changes to the model - should be WGs review 
b) refactoring for refactoring of the yang models - needs to be expert Yang
c) textual changes - can be optional reviewed by WG 

As an author, Paul is trying to handle all 3 types of changes.   It may be
helpful to start classify the issues based on type.   

The challenge we both face is that most Yang models have been refactored. 

I appreciate all your hard work on helping us refactor the existing models
and note problems. The WG has been pushed to get "models" before taking on
additional work  - so your comments are fair.  

Cheers, Sue

in the second WGLC of this document is (a) evidence of review by the WG and
(b) support by the WG to publish it (irrespective of whether there is
charter milestone or not).  There has been very little WG discussion of this
document on the mailing list in the last 18 months and no formal meetings
with it as a topic.   Most discussions have been between a reduced set of
document authors and directorates reviews/IETF LC/IESG balloting feedback.
The last three documents sent to the IESG (-capability-data-model,
monitoring-data-model, nsf-facing-interface-dm) have required substantial
changes due to AD review, directorate review and IESG Review (to include
them all still being blocked with multiple (2-4) DISCUSSes).  I want to make
sure that all future documents the WG requests publication on have gotten
the needed review in the WG.

Roman

Yes!

I see capability-data-model as being the core I-D from which the others 
stem (ideally with a common module of YANG and definitions:-).  I was 
still catching up with the repeated revisions of that when nsf-facing 
and nsf-monitoring went forward. IMHO the IESG could have had a easier 
time if the lessons of capability had been applied to the latter two 
before seeking to progress them; easy to say in hindsight.

I think Ben's DISCUSS on capability 2/2/22 are key.  He points out that 
the level of detail expected is unclear.  What does monitoring on a 
routing header mean?  All of them, including future ones, any one or 
what?  Obvious now Ben has said so but I never thought of it. Looking 
back at RFC8329 I see no mention of routing headers being part of this 
work (where are the authors of RFC8329 when we need them?).  Ben also 
comments that a base capability is ambiguous - can it be used per se as 
in derived-from-or self or only as derived-from?  Likewise the 
resolution strategies are obvious until Ben points out that they are not 
defined anywhere that he (or I) can see.  I note that one of them has 
disappeared from capabiity -26 but like most of the changes to this and 
the other I-Ds, there is no consensus for this change because there has 
been no discussion within the WG.

This lack of consensus is to me the defining characteristic of the I2NSF 
WG.  At AD review you asked for expanded definitions in a few cases and 
got them which seemed fine.  Then a ..art reviewer asks for a whole lot 
more and gets them.  As I commented, to me this is a lack of familiarity 
on the part of the ..art reviewer and for most people involved, like 
you, like me, like other ..art reviewers, the existing definitions are 
adequate.  And this is a multi-headed hydra because the new text takes 
the I-D out of line with the other I-D (my bane), with other parts of 
the same I-D, and, as many have commented, the English often needs 
attention and so any change to the text is likely to generate further 
change and may even be unclear or worse.  The changes made generate 
issues faster than I can point them out so the number of unfixed issues 
increases exponentially.  Several of Ben's or Lars's textual comments I 
have marked in my copy as issues to raise when I have raised the larger, 
more technical ones; I could have saved Ben and Lars some time (as a WG 
should do).

Out of many such I would highlight the use of 'l4' or 'layer4'.  Some 
time ago I pointed out that this was unusual in the IETF, 'transport' 
being more common and this was duly changed in the identity.  A reviewer 
of nsf-monitoring found the word 'port', used in the context of 
ipv4/ipv6, ambiguous and suggested 'l4port' which was duly incorporated 
in some parts of that particular I-D and not in others and not in the 
other I-Ds (my bane again).  As before, I think the need to qualify 
'port' is more of a comment on the reviewer and not on the I-D:-) Had 
the issue been raised on the list I would have objected!

So:
- the rate of change on these I-Ds is high (I have yet to catch up with 
all those that appeared in January and February)
- no change has WG consensus because nothing is discussed on the WG list
- changes are made to one part of one I-D without being reflected in 
other parts of that I-D or in the other related I-D
- changes lack clarity and so raise further issues requiring change.

For me, the root cause is the way of working of the WG, unlike any other 
I am involved with in that comments made by ...art, by me, do not get 
reviewed, discussed.  Nothing has consensus.  Coupled with this is the 
high rate of change induced by the authors - sometimes I can see where 
the change came from, other times I cannot - and the lack of a clear 
scope for the work, e.g. a lack of alignment with RFC8329 which ought to 
be the high-level definition of what this work is about.
