(resending with correct netconf address)

Following the discussions in Vancouver we are creating a design team to work on Requirements for a Configuration Data Modeling Language (RCDML) with participation from OPS and APPS. 

The principal goal of the design team activity is to increase the chances for a successful BOF in Philadelphia which should decide on what needs to be done to standardize data models for configuration in the IETF with focus on the immediate requirements for the NETCONF protocol. We recommend that in order to expedite the process the team will look at the existing requirements for data modeling languages coming from the various teams working on new solutions or reusing existing data modeling languages and tools, identify the common set of requirements and the principal specific requirements that led to each one of the solutions. The focus of the requirements should be on the immediate needs of the OPS area and NETCONF protocol, and should use precedent work done in the area as RFC 3535, but take into consideration the need for extensibility and the opportunity of providing one data modeling language solution for different other IETF problems in APPS and other area like application servers, so that any solution that is engaged does not preclude the extensibility and broader applicability. 

Team leader is Randy Presuhn whom we thank for accepting this task and we welcome back as an active participant in the IETF. We trust that his experience and expertise will be of great help. Members in the team will be Martin Björklund, Alex Clemm, Rohan Mahy, Chris Newman,  and David Partain

As time frame we suggest that the team targets February 15, 2008 as a date for the principal deliverable which should be an Internet-Draft with a taxonomy of RDCML to be used as entry and reference at a CDML BOF at IETF 71 in Philadelphia. 

We wish success to the team and Happy Holidays for all. 

Ron and Dan
