Hi,

One of the outcomes of the meeting between the folks doing YANG versioning and 
IANA was a request to have clearer long-term guidance for IANA's processing of 
YANG modules.  In some of the feedback from Mahesh the suggestion was that this 
should also incorporate guidelines for the RFC Editor when processing YANG 
modules as well.

Hence this document.  At this stage, still document is still somewhat 
rough/early (but verbose because an LLM helped produce most of the initial text 
based on my guidance), and hasn't had that much review yet.

So, I think that the key questions are whether this is the sort of 
information//guidance/format that you are looking for?  Does the rough 
structure and level of detail seem right, or too much or too little?  If we can 
please get some early feedback on whether this doc is on the right track or if 
we should be making some larger restructuring before the next version.

Mahesh, you mentioned that the RFC Editor would also be interested, who would 
be the best contact please, Alexis?

NETMOD chairs, I think that you mentioned adopting this directly.  Let me know 
whether you think that this doc is ready to be adopted, or I should get a round 
of reviews first, or ...

Just for the formal record:  I’m not aware of any IPR that applies to this 
draft.

Kind regards,
Rob
