Dear NMRG,

Jérôme and I have finalized our review of the call for adoption as RG document of draft-zhou-nmrg-digitaltwin-network-concepts.

The document has received support from of significant number of RG participants.
Several opinions converge in need to enhance key aspects of the work: on the form/structure/organization, on the content/questions/challenges - (on version -06 of the document)
Authors provided initial answers on comments and prepared an update of the draft - this is satisfactory and sign of commitment and constructive approach. Suggestions received in the comments have been addressed in a revision of the document (-07 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zhou-nmrg-digitaltwin-network-concepts/07/)
For detailed review of the comments received, Please consult the RG mailing list archive thread at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/nmrg/zgk8ff4tV7sf0ErfZnVL8YPnI8c/

**************
Recommendation

As RG chairs, based on the evaluation criteria and feedback from the research group, our recommendation is to adopt the document as a new research group document (version -07).

However, we draw the attention of the authors and research group on an important consideration: several comments pointed to the large scope of the document addressing aspects on architecture, concepts, research questions and challenges, requirements, use cases. While for now, we consider this is not impeding adoption as a RG document, it is important that the research group determines if the content will be more accessible if organized as separate documents.

We believe the research group understanding on such considerations will mature with the progress of this activity.
The agenda item on network digital twins at IETF 113 session is a first attempt to reflect on those questions.

***
Actions and note for authors

  *   Upload the current version as a group draft. No modification to the content shall to be made for version -00. Only the title must be reformatted according to the following format:
draft-irtf-nmrg-network-digital-twin-title-00 - please choose something explicit and short for the [title] part.
You may have to do this once the I-D submission system reopens.

  *   When a work becomes RG document, authors/editors become servants of the RG and relinquish the document evolution control to the RG. This is not an individual contribution anymore.

Jerôme and I would like to thank the authors and the RG participants who provided comments and views on the document.
Looking forward to a rich set of activities on the topic of network digital twin.

Best regards, Jérôme and Laurent

Dear NMRG,

This message starts the call for adoption as RG document for:
Digital Twin Network: Concepts and Reference Architecture - draft-zhou-nmrg-digitaltwin-network-concepts
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zhou-nmrg-digitaltwin-network-concepts/

Please let us know if you support or not the work becoming a RG document.
In all cases, provide detailed comments to support your opinion and send them on the mailing list.
We are particularly interested in assessing the following aspects:

  1.  NMRG being a *research* group it is important to articulate well the problem(s), challenge(s) and research questions.
  2.  Is the scientific soundness of the draft satisfying? (quality of the scientific proposition, rigor of the method, impact) ; "the measure of success is the quality and impact of the research results" [RFC2014]
  3.  As the document proposes an *architecture*, it is important to provide a clear scope and positioning of this architecture with respect to network management/automation/operation frameworks and where/how the proposed architecture will prove useful or aims at replacing/augmenting certain functionality

The procedure for RG document adoption and important criteria are detailed here: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/nmrg/CVEyLUvfxJk1Ud5WdM9Y5LGvQmU

Given the time of the year, this call for adoption is open for four weeks and ends on January 7th, 2022.

Best regards, NMRG chairs
Laurent & Jérôme
