An initial proposed disposition of comments, listing the comments received on https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7.pdf, had been posted at https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis00.pdf

Resolution started with comments identified by the Editor for initial discussion. Proposed or final responses to comments were recorded (as usual) in an updated proposed disposition of comments made available after the close of the session at

https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis02.pdf.

Extended discussion took place on the following comments (identified in these minutes by the comment numbers in the proposed disposition) beyond that recorded in the proposed disposition:

  • #101. Discussion of data structures, no need for user priority in table because it is just an index. Small amount of information indexed, no need to reference through a layer of indirection when describing the behavior of the implementation (frame transmitted with a given value of user priority). YANG preferences is a separate issue. Decision to reorganize tables and terminology.
  • #131. Updates #101 suggested remedy. No need to force drop eligible clear for privacy protected individual frames, although this might be desired to avoid disclosing/identifying excess traffic. Provide a drop eligible hide/privacy control (downside of hiding is of course placing conformant traffic at risk).
  • #32. Suggestion of random padding. Adequate RNG at per packet rates not believed economically feasible. Typically high rates accommodated by pseudo-random number generation, which can itself provide a tracking/identifying method (e.g. as in the extensive privacy discussion of the 802.11 scrambler seed).
  • #33. Fragmented frames interspersed with unprotected frames – capability already described.
  • #135. Timeliness requirements both on frame delay through MACsec (as previously described) and on how long before an encapsulating MPPDU is transmitted can the decision be made as to what the contents should be – in other words how late can a highest priority frame be made available and still be encapsulated in the very next MPPDU. Wide range of usage scenarios and speeds, from single site TSN to global and satellite communication. Probably needs text soliciting implementation characterization by vendor so customer can assess use case suitability.

Needs work.

Disposition: Further discussion needed.

Call to order Jul 15, 2021 at 11:12 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

The Security TG Chair showed “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf, announced that this ad hoc meeting remains subject to the Policies mentioned in agenda item 1, repeated the call for patents, and asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

3. Don Fedyk, P802.1AEdk Editor, continued the discussion of comments received in the Task Group ballot on https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7.pdf, recording final and proposed responses. Extended discussion of the following comments:

  • #21 regarding MAC proxies (RFC from IETF). Translation of MAC addresses by a proxy in the wired network, back hauling wireless access, with privacy as a goal. No impact on MACsec (or on MAC Privacy protection over MACsec) where the scope of MACsec is hop by hop terminated at the proxy point. However will change MAC address and therefore remove data origin authenticity (and cause validation failure) if MACsec “hop” is intended to protect across the region including the proxy. Would cause key lookup failure where source address is part of the key index (SAK) operation, which is MACsec option. Basic question as to whether the “proxy” is viewed as trustworthy given increased focus on privacy intrusion by services that a person intentionally uses (as opposed to an unknown adversary). Not compatible with a recently advocated use case of MACsec as a further independent layer of security over wireless access.
  • #34. Further consideration regarding Annex I PTP for high precision time stamping. Work elsewhere in 802.1 should be focused on the use of 802.3cx reference point and MII delay specification. Follow up on the definition of the timestamping point when that work has progressed.
  • #4. It would be useful to capture the (small) subset of UML used. UML notation for optional should be (for example) 0..1. Desirable to add this to figures.
  • #85. While the Security TG has a related contribution there is some way to go from contribution to document text. In the absence of a definite plan to develop text regarding bandwidth use with Privacy (some loss, some gain where multiple small frames are encapsulated, removing inter-frame gap), need to let this go.

Disposition: Further discussion needed.

12:50 ET recess

Call to order Jul 16, 2021 at 11:12 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

The Security TG Chair showed “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf, announced that this ad hoc meeting remains subject to the Policies mentioned in agenda item 1, repeated the call for patents, and asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

  • #33. Reviewed again. Interspersing protected and unprotected frames on transmission. Security TG chair will provide text.
  • #42. MIB has counters that are not in YANG model. Have to check that these counters were deprecated.
  • #44. Annex needs to capture MIB and YANG differences. Structures should be aligned where possible (#46).
  • #130. Call the padding of individual Privacy Frames “Privacy Frame Padding”.
  • #135, 136, 138. Bound the encoding delay.

Disposition: Updated proposed disposition of comments is at https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis02.pdf.

The Security TG Chair, as 802.1AE editor, will begin the process of integrating text into the IEEE Std 802.1AE base, with the objective of minimizing surprises/difficulty in the eventual roll-up of the amendment and ensuring terminology use if aligned. Further comments on the draft are welcome, to help drive the process. If ready for WG ballot before November 2021, will do an ePoll.

4. Any other business. A YANG Data Model for a Keystore RFC in NETCONF Working Group is in WG last call and gives recommendations for key storage/accessibility of 802.1AR (built-in keys) which appear to override and conflict with/miss the point of  802.1AR recommendations. Reference to 802.1AR needs to be updated to 802.1AR. Need to develop a liaison and contact other security experts who may not be following this NETCONF work.

5. Future meetings. Security TG electronic meetings would be scheduled for Aug 3, 2021 13:00 ET and Aug 17, 2021 13:00 ET. Agenda: P802.1AEdk draft development and task group matters arising.

8. Study Items.

(A) Cut-Through Forwarding (CTF) Study Item.

      • The CTF Study Item was, without objection, deferred until the completion of agenda item 10. Regarding the CTF Study Item, Johannes Specht, CTF leader, discussed approaches to re-recording the tutorial for distribution. The option to record privately with Webex and distribute via YouTube was considered; IEEE rules for distribution would need to be determined. The Nendica Chair noted that, following up his action from the preceding week’s Nendica meeting, he had contacted IEEE Educational Activities about providing a home for the video and learned that it would be possible but that the typical format would be a presentation before another live audience, with the recording available from IEEE SA on demand. Three questions arose: (1) how soon could IEEE Educational Activities schedule the presentation; (2) could the recording be made available via YouTube; (3) could the existing slide set be used.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair agreed to contact IEEE staff and learn more.

Disposition: Further discussion at the following week’s Nendica meeting is anticipated.

(B) Potential new Study Item topics: The contribution “Potential Nendica Study Item: Evolving IEEE 802 Architecture Requirements” https://mentor.ieee.org/802.1/dcn/21/1-21-0014-02-ICne.pdf was not discussed due to lack of time.

9. Future Meetings. It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to request a motion at the 802.1 closing plenary meeting as follows “802.1 authorizes Nendica to hold weekly electronic meetings each Thursday 09:00-11:00 ET. Access and agenda information are provided on the calendar at Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.”.

It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to request another motion at the 802.1 closing plenary meeting to authorize additional Nendica meetings as announced at least 10 days in advance.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair is to prepare motions accordingly. Nendica plans to next meet Jul 22, 2021 09:00-11:00 ET, although the meeting will be cancelled if not authorized by the 802.1 WG on Jul 20, 2021.

10. Any Other Business. At the request of the 802.1 WG, Nendica reviewed a liaison statement received from ITU-T SG13 (“LS 205: Information about draft Recommendation Y.ICN-SEAN on “Architecture and Functional Framework for On-Site, Elastic and Autonomous ICN”) https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-SG13-LS205-ICNnetwork-0421.pdf in order to recommend a response. It was noted that the statement had been forwarded to 802.1 from 802.3, which was the only recipient. Following discussion, it was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to draft a statement indicating that ICN is a wholly different approach than used in IEEE 802 layer 2 networking and is outside the scope of existing work in IEEE 802 and that relevance of the work to IEEE 802 is not apparent but may become so in the future; also requesting to be informed of future results and suggesting that the IRTF should be kept informed. It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) that Paul Bottorff, Norman Finn, Glenn Parsons, and Roger Marks, would prepare a draft to be passed to the 802.1 Chair and Liaison Secretary for processing in the 802.1 WG.

Disposition: For information.

9. Review of YANG issues from recent ballots. The YANGsters chair introduced the topic and the following was discussed.

  • Model vs. Module
          • There is text in recent drafts of IEEE 802.1 projects that describes the relationship between models and modules.

YANG model definition from P802.1ABcu: “YANG model: One or more YANG modules used to configure and monitor the managed element or system.”

YANG module definition from P802.1ABcu: “YANG module: The description of the data model used to configure and monitor the managed element or system. A YANG module defines a hierarchy of nodes that can be used for NETCONF-based (see IETF RFC 7803) and RESTCONF-based (see IETF RFC 8040) operations.”

  • Schema (not Scheme — that was a typo)
          • The term “scheme” was introduced erroneously by a typo.
          • YANGsters consider “schema” to be the correct term to use in IEEE 802.1 documents.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting) to use terminology as described.

10. Issues List. The YANGsters Chair presented the “YANGsters Issue List” https://1.ieee802.org/yangsters/yangsters-issue-list/.

  • There is currently only one item on the list regarding YANG revision management.
  • The discussion on that issue with experts from IETF is ongoing.

Disposition: For information

11. Future meetings. There will be a motion during the 802.1 closing plenary meeting to request the continuation of the weekly YANGsters electronic meetings. YANGsters’ next electronic meeting is Jul 27, 2021.

12. Any Other Business. No other business was discussed by YANGsters in this session.

Security Task Group

Between this session and the preceding session, the IEEE 802.1 Security Task Group (Security TG) held electronic meetings whose minutes are incorporated to these session minutes by reference as follows:

The table in section 1 reflects the attendance and affiliation of all participants in all 802.1 WG and subgroup meetings held in this session.

Call to order Jul 13, 2021 at 11:00 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair, who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

Agenda items and dispositions:

1. Meeting introduction. The IEEE SA slides on IEEE Patent Policy and IEEE SA Copyright and Participation Policies were provided beforehand as part of “MEETING INTRODUCTION”

http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf.

The Security TG Chair announced that the meeting is subject to these Policies as read and displayed at the opening plenary meeting.

The Security TG Chair made the Calls for Potentially Essential Patents thereby providing an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard: there were no responses to these Calls prior to the end of the session.

The Security TG Chair asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

2. Approval of agenda. The Security TG Chair presented the agenda in https://1.ieee802.org/july-2021-plenary-session-electronic-security-agenda/

Disposition: the agenda was reviewed, discussed and updated as recorded by these minutes.

Question re potential discussion of liaison from the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) concerning Random and Changing MAC Addresses (RCM): liaison is expected but not yet received, so no discussion at this session.

3. P802.1AEdk MAC Privacy protection. Don Fedyk, P802.1AEdk Editor, led a discussion of comments received on the Task Group ballot of P802.1AEdk. An initial proposed disposition of comments, listing the comments received on https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7.pdf, had been posted at https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis00.pdf

Resolution started with comments identified by the Editor for initial discussion. Proposed or final responses to comments were recorded (as usual) in an updated proposed disposition of comments made available after the close of the session at

https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis02.pdf.

Extended discussion took place on the following comments (identified in these minutes by the comment numbers in the proposed disposition) beyond that recorded in the proposed disposition:

  • #101. Discussion of data structures, no need for user priority in table because it is just an index. Small amount of information indexed, no need to reference through a layer of indirection when describing the behavior of the implementation (frame transmitted with a given value of user priority). YANG preferences is a separate issue. Decision to reorganize tables and terminology.
  • #131. Updates #101 suggested remedy. No need to force drop eligible clear for privacy protected individual frames, although this might be desired to avoid disclosing/identifying excess traffic. Provide a drop eligible hide/privacy control (downside of hiding is of course placing conformant traffic at risk).
  • #32. Suggestion of random padding. Adequate RNG at per packet rates not believed economically feasible. Typically high rates accommodated by pseudo-random number generation, which can itself provide a tracking/identifying method (e.g. as in the extensive privacy discussion of the 802.11 scrambler seed).
  • #33. Fragmented frames interspersed with unprotected frames – capability already described.
  • #135. Timeliness requirements both on frame delay through MACsec (as previously described) and on how long before an encapsulating MPPDU is transmitted can the decision be made as to what the contents should be – in other words how late can a highest priority frame be made available and still be encapsulated in the very next MPPDU. Wide range of usage scenarios and speeds, from single site TSN to global and satellite communication. Probably needs text soliciting implementation characterization by vendor so customer can assess use case suitability.

Needs work.

Disposition: Further discussion needed.

13:01 ET recess

Call to order Jul 15, 2021 at 11:12 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

The Security TG Chair showed “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf, announced that this ad hoc meeting remains subject to the Policies mentioned in agenda item 1, repeated the call for patents, and asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

3. Don Fedyk, P802.1AEdk Editor, continued the discussion of comments received in the Task Group ballot on https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7.pdf, recording final and proposed responses. Extended discussion of the following comments:

  • #21 regarding MAC proxies (RFC from IETF). Translation of MAC addresses by a proxy in the wired network, back hauling wireless access, with privacy as a goal. No impact on MACsec (or on MAC Privacy protection over MACsec) where the scope of MACsec is hop by hop terminated at the proxy point. However will change MAC address and therefore remove data origin authenticity (and cause validation failure) if MACsec “hop” is intended to protect across the region including the proxy. Would cause key lookup failure where source address is part of the key index (SAK) operation, which is MACsec option. Basic question as to whether the “proxy” is viewed as trustworthy given increased focus on privacy intrusion by services that a person intentionally uses (as opposed to an unknown adversary). Not compatible with a recently advocated use case of MACsec as a further independent layer of security over wireless access.
  • #34. Further consideration regarding Annex I PTP for high precision time stamping. Work elsewhere in 802.1 should be focused on the use of 802.3cx reference point and MII delay specification. Follow up on the definition of the timestamping point when that work has progressed.
  • #4. It would be useful to capture the (small) subset of UML used. UML notation for optional should be (for example) 0..1. Desirable to add this to figures.
  • #85. While the Security TG has a related contribution there is some way to go from contribution to document text. In the absence of a definite plan to develop text regarding bandwidth use with Privacy (some loss, some gain where multiple small frames are encapsulated, removing inter-frame gap), need to let this go.

Disposition: Further discussion needed.

12:50 ET recess

Call to order Jul 16, 2021 at 11:12 ET by Mick Seaman, IEEE 802.1 Security TG Chair who presided and wrote the minutes assisted by Karen Randall, Security TG Vice-Chair.

The Security TG Chair showed “MEETING INTRODUCTION” http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/templates/admin-TG-intro-0721-v01.pdf, announced that this ad hoc meeting remains subject to the Policies mentioned in agenda item 1, repeated the call for patents, and asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

3. Don Fedyk, P802.1AEdk Editor, continued the discussion of comments received on the Task Group ballot on https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7.pdf, recording final and proposed responses. Extended discussion of the following comments:

  • #33. Reviewed again. Interspersing protected and unprotected frames on transmission. Security TG chair will provide text.
  • #42. MIB has counters that are not in YANG model. Have to check that these counters were deprecated.
  • #44. Annex needs to capture MIB and YANG differences. Structures should be aligned where possible (#46).
  • #130. Call the padding of individual Privacy Frames “Privacy Frame Padding”.
  • #135, 136, 138. Bound the encoding delay.

Disposition: Updated proposed disposition of comments is at https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/dk-drafts/d0/802-1AEdk-d0-7-pdis02.pdf.

The Security TG Chair, as 802.1AE editor, will begin the process of integrating text into the IEEE Std 802.1AE base, with the objective of minimizing surprises/difficulty in the eventual roll-up of the amendment and ensuring terminology use if aligned. Further comments on the draft are welcome, to help drive the process. If ready for WG ballot before November 2021, will do an ePoll.

4. Any other business. A YANG Data Model for a Keystore RFC in NETCONF Working Group is in WG last call and gives recommendations for key storage/accessibility of 802.1AR (built-in keys) which appear to override and conflict with/miss the point of  802.1AR recommendations. Reference to 802.1AR needs to be updated to 802.1AR. Need to develop a liaison and contact other security experts who may not be following this NETCONF work.

5. Future meetings. Security TG electronic meetings would be scheduled for Aug 3, 2021 13:00 ET and Aug 17, 2021 13:00 ET. Agenda: P802.1AEdk draft development and task group matters arising.

  • Any material submitted during standards development, whether verbal, recorded, or in written form, is a Contribution and shall comply with the IEEE SA Copyright Policy.

The Nendica Chair asked participants to record their attendance in IMAT and, if they are unable to do so, to promptly provide their affiliation to the minute taker.

2. Approval of agenda. The Nendica Chair presented the draft agenda.

Disposition: The agenda was reviewed, discussed, and agreed (informally, none dissenting) as presented, then posted as https://mentor.ieee.org/802.1/dcn/21/1-21-0043-00-ICne.pdf.

3. Update. The Nendica Chair noted the Nendica web site and the new documents available at the Nendica mentor server.

4. Minutes. The Nendica Chair reviewed the draft “Minutes of the Nendica meeting held 2021-07-08 09:00-11:00 ET (revised)” https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=STDS-802-1-MINUTES;bce05a90.21.

Disposition: It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to approve the minutes as presented.

5. Nendica organization.

The Nendica Chair noted that progress on renewal of the Nendica ICAID continues to track the schedule. He noted that he had attended PAR/ICAID review meetings of the 802.3 and 802.15 WGs and that he had presented a Nendica status report https://mentor.ieee.org/802.1/dcn/21/1-21-0040-01-ICne.pdf to the 802.19 and 802.15 WGs and would present the same to 802.3 after the Nendica meeting. Only one comment had been received on the ICAID as of the deadline, which was two hours before the meeting. The comment asked for finalization of the highlighted TBD items. The Nendica Chair noted that he had submitted, on Jul 9, 2021, updates to the draft ICAID proposal and draft ICAID report in order to finalize the TBDs. These documents were reviewed, and the meeting agreed (informally, none dissenting) to further update both of them.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair agreed to notify the 802.1 Chair and WG reflector of the request for approval, inviting individuals to request addition of their name to the ICAID participant list in section 8.3 prior to 802.1 WG action.

6. Stream and Flow Interworking (SFI) Work Item. Roger Marks, SFI Work Item Editor, indicated an expectation of proposing the termination of this Work Item in a future Nendica meeting.

7. Data Center Networks (DCN) Work Item. Paul Congdon, DCN Work Item Editor, noted that IEEE published “IEEE 802 Nendica Report: Intelligent Lossless Data Center Networks” on Jun 22, 2021 and that a flaw in IEEE’s publication page had been corrected by IEEE staff. A spelling error in participant’s name in the report has been flagged to IEEE staff. A draft social media message was reviewed for the IEEE 802 Public Visibility effort, with no comment. Paul Congdon will be presenting a webinar that will discuss aspects of the report.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair agreed to forward the draft social media message to the 802 Public Visibility Standing Committee.

8. Study Items.

(A) Cut-Through Forwarding (CTF) Study Item.

      • The CTF Study Item was, without objection, deferred until the completion of agenda item 10. Regarding the CTF Study Item, Johannes Specht, CTF leader, discussed approaches to re-recording the tutorial for distribution. The option to record privately with Webex and distribute via YouTube was considered; IEEE rules for distribution would need to be determined. The Nendica Chair noted that, following up his action from the preceding week’s Nendica meeting, he had contacted IEEE Educational Activities about providing a home for the video and learned that it would be possible but that the typical format would be a presentation before another live audience, with the recording available from IEEE SA on demand. Three questions arose: (1) how soon could IEEE Educational Activities schedule the presentation; (2) could the recording be made available via YouTube; (3) could the existing slide set be used.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair agreed to contact IEEE staff and learn more.

Disposition: Further discussion at the following week’s Nendica meeting is anticipated.

(B) Potential new Study Item topics: The contribution “Potential Nendica Study Item: Evolving IEEE 802 Architecture Requirements” https://mentor.ieee.org/802.1/dcn/21/1-21-0014-02-ICne.pdf was not discussed due to lack of time.

9. Future Meetings. It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to request a motion at the 802.1 closing plenary meeting as follows “802.1 authorizes Nendica to hold weekly electronic meetings each Thursday 09:00-11:00 ET. Access and agenda information are provided on the calendar at Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.”.

It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to request another motion at the 802.1 closing plenary meeting to authorize additional Nendica meetings as announced at least 10 days in advance.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair is to prepare motions accordingly. Nendica plans to next meet Jul 22, 2021 09:00-11:00 ET, although the meeting will be cancelled if not authorized by the 802.1 WG on Jul 20, 2021.

10. Any Other Business. At the request of the 802.1 WG, Nendica reviewed a liaison statement received from ITU-T SG13 (“LS 205: Information about draft Recommendation Y.ICN-SEAN on “Architecture and Functional Framework for On-Site, Elastic and Autonomous ICN”) https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-SG13-LS205-ICNnetwork-0421.pdf in order to recommend a response. It was noted that the statement had been forwarded to 802.1 from 802.3, which was the only recipient. Following discussion, it was agreed (informally, none dissenting) to draft a statement indicating that ICN is a wholly different approach than used in IEEE 802 layer 2 networking and is outside the scope of existing work in IEEE 802 and that relevance of the work to IEEE 802 is not apparent but may become so in the future; also requesting to be informed of future results and suggesting that the IRTF should be kept informed. It was agreed (informally, none dissenting) that Paul Bottorff, Norman Finn, Glenn Parsons, and Roger Marks, would prepare a draft to be passed to the 802.1 Chair and Liaison Secretary for processing in the 802.1 WG.

Disposition: The Nendica Chair will prepare a draft for review by Paul Bottorff, Norman Finn, and Glenn Parsons.

No other business was discussed by Nendica in this meeting.

9. Review of YANG issues from recent ballots. The YANGsters chair introduced the topic and the following was discussed.

  • Model vs. Module
          • There is text in recent drafts of IEEE 802.1 projects that describes the relationship between models and modules.

YANG model definition from P802.1ABcu: “YANG model: One or more YANG modules used to configure and monitor the managed element or system.”

YANG module definition from P802.1ABcu: “YANG module: The description of the data model used to configure and monitor the managed element or system. A YANG module defines a hierarchy of nodes that can be used for NETCONF-based (see IETF RFC 7803) and RESTCONF-based (see IETF RFC 8040) operations.”

  • Schema (not Scheme — that was a typo)
          • The term “scheme” was introduced erroneously by a typo.
          • YANGsters consider “schema” to be the correct term to use in IEEE 802.1 documents.

Disposition: Agreed (informally, none dissenting) to use terminology as described.

10. Issues List. The YANGsters Chair presented the “YANGsters Issue List” https://1.ieee802.org/yangsters/yangsters-issue-list/.
