Hi Benoît, all, Thank you for the team.
FWIW, Alvaro Retana kindly accepted to be the document Shepherd. Cheers, Med De : Benoit Claise <benoit.claise=40huawei....@dmarc.ietf.org> Envoyé : lundi 12 mai 2025 15:24 À : opsawg <opsawg@ietf.org> Cc : ops-...@ietf.org; draft-opsarea-rfc5706...@ietf.org; ops-ads <ops-...@ietf.org> Objet : New draft version posted (Fwd: RFC5706bis => draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis posted) Dear all, Here is a new version of the "Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications" draft Name: draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis Revision: 01 Title: Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications Date: 2025-05-12 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 38 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis-01.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis/ HTML: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis-01.html HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis Diff: https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url2=draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis-01 Abstract: New protocols or protocol extensions are best designed with due consideration of the functionality needed to operate and manage the protocols. Retrofitting operations and management is sub-optimal. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to authors and reviewers of documents that define new protocols or protocol extensions regarding aspects of operations and management that should be considered. This document obsoletes RFC 5706, replacing it completely and updating it with new operational and management techniques and mechanisms, and introduces a requirement for an "Operational and Management Considerations" section in Internet-Drafts, before they are progressed as publication as RFCs. What we have addressed in this version. - Update title to better reflect the intent/scope - Clarify the obsoleting of RFC5706 - Soften the MIB part + IESG statement about MIB - More guidance on the importance of data models. - Reword based on the recent erratum - perform an end-to-end editorial and RFC-style and update - the Appendix "Appendix A. Operations and Management Review Checklist"<https://github.com/IETF-OPSAWG-WG/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis/issues/8> is moved to a different location See https://github.com/IETF-OPSAWG-WG/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed for the details. There are some open issues at https://github.com/IETF-OPSAWG-WG/draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis/issues Your feedback is welcome on this draft version, or on the open issues. We plan to submit a new draft version by mid June. Regards, Benoit (on behalf of the authors Ran, Adrian, Carlos, Joe, Samier, Thomas, and I, and under Med's supervision) On 4/8/2025 8:09 PM, Benoit Claise wrote: Dear all, Sorry for sending this email to all OPS WGs (bcc'ed), however, we need to reach all of you in the OPS area. Below, you will see our AD's guidance to update the RFC 5706 "Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management of New Protocols and Protocol Extensions" Yes, it's about time to update this RFC, published in 2009, with the ideal end goal to have "Manageability Considerations" section all IETF drafts. As Med mentioned on the OPSAWG mailing list: "We need to find the right balance between providing clear guidance while avoiding some rigidity. We will explore that path together with other areas." Med will be sponsoring this document, as BCP, while RFC 5706 was published as Informational. Today, we passed the first milestone, with the publication of: A new version of Internet-Draft draft-opsarea-rfc5706bis-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Benoit Claise and posted to the IETF repository.

Retrofitting operations and management is sub-optimal. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to authors and reviewers of documents that define new protocols or protocol extensions regarding aspects of operations and management that should be considered. This document obsoletes RFC 5706. What are the diffs compared to RFC5706? At this stage, not much: "same content as RFC5706. The only changes are the authors list and document track", as Med mentioned below. As this document is AD-sponsored, it now appears under https://datatracker.ietf.org/ag/opsarea/documents/ What do we expect from all of you? - please review the plan below. Feel free to comment. - we would like to know about some specific questions/open issues/improvements regarding the "Manageability Considerations" for your WG - PLEASE don't reply to all, as the discussion should happen on the OSPAWG mailing list. If you prefer, feel free to reply only to the contributors, in cc. Next, we will set up a github repo, populate the open issues, and start resolving them.
