Description of Working Group:

  The Network Modeling (NETMOD) working group is responsible for the YANG
  data modeling language, which can be used to specify network management
  data models that are transported over such protocols as NETCONF and
  RESTCONF, and guidelines for developing YANG models. The NETMOD working
  group addresses general topics related to the use of the YANG language
  and YANG models, for example, the mapping of YANG modeled data into
  various encodings. Finally, the NETMOD working group also defines core
  YANG models used as basic YANG building blocks, and YANG models that do
  not otherwise fall under the charter of any other IETF working group.
  The NETMOD WG may include work on YANG modules device profiles that do
  not otherwise fall under the charter of any other IETF working group.

  The NETMOD WG is responsible for:

     a) Maintaining the data modeling language YANG. This effort entails
        periodically updating the specification to address new
        requirements as they arise.

     b) Maintaining the guidelines for developing YANG models. This effort
        is primarily driven by updates made to the YANG specification.

     c) Maintaining a conceptual framework in which YANG models are used.
        This effort entails describing the generic context that in YANG
        exists and how certain YANG statements interact in that context.
        An example of this is YANG's relationship with datastores.

     d) Maintaining encodings for YANG modeled data. This effort entails
        updating encodings already defined by the NETMOD working group
        (XML and JSON) to accommodate changes to the YANG specification,
        and defining new YANG encodings that are needed, and yet do not
        fall under the charter of any other active IETF working group.

     e) Maintaining YANG models used as basic YANG building blocks. This
        effort entails updating existing YANG models (ietf-yang-types and
        ietf-inet-types) as needed, as well as defining additional core
        YANG data models when necessary.

     f) Defining and maintaining YANG models that do not fall under the
        charter of any other active IETF working group.

     The NETMOD working group consults with the NETCONF working group to
     ensure that new requirements are understood and can be met by the
     protocols (e.g., NETCONF and RESTCONF) developed within that working
     group.

     The NETMOD working group does not serve as a review team for YANG
     modules developed by other working groups. Instead, the YANG doctors,
     [1] as organized by the OPS area director responsible for network
     management, will act as advisors for other working groups and provide
     YANG reviews for the OPS area directors.
