Minutes of the SUPA meeting at IETF 94 in Yokohama
About 148 people present, plus 15 on jabber
Scribes: Tina Tsou, Nevil Brownlee
Jabber Scribe: Dhruv Dhody, Liushucheng (Will)
Meeting chairs: Daniel King, Nevil Brownlee

Nevil opened the meeting, commenting that the WG needs to develop a
clear definition of goals, leading to small set of drafts, and
realistic results.

Benoit Claise spoke about "Purpose and Focus of SUPA."  Although the
WG's end goals are yang data models, the WG may also need to define an
information model - input on information models is welcome.  At this
stage SUPA's focus is on data models.

Maksim Klyus presented the "SUPA Value Proposition" draft.  SUPA will
work towards a vendor and technology independent policy framework,
meantime others (e.g. TMF) are also working on frameworks.  Again,
some of the I2RS WG's work could be mapped to SUPA.

John Strassner presented the "General Info Model for SUPA" draft.
He has moved its material on declarative (intent-based) policy to an
appendix, and commented that TMF and ONF are currently working on
that.  About 15 people had read this draft; we need more input and a 
second editor is encouraged - please send text to the list.

Michiaki Hayashi presented the "ECA Policy Yang Model" draft, starting
with an overview of SUPA models.  At this stage a concrete use case
for this - other than "improved management" has yet to appear.

Dapeng Liu presented the "SUPA Applicability" draft.

Sue Hares presented her work on "An Information Model for Basic
Network Policy and Filter Rules", as a good example of how information
models might be mapped to YANG models.

A general discussion followed.  Several other SDOs and Open Source
projects are also working on SUPA-related topics; we welcome that, it
emphasises our need to focus on the charter goals - working, usable
YANG models.

At this stage the WG has not "adopted" any drafts, those presented are
the ones that approximately match items in our charter.  They will be
discussed on the SUPA mailing list for the next two weeks; please
comment, and say whether or not you support them as WG items.  By
mid-December the WG chairs will determine consensus on the' WG
drafts.'

Yihong Zha presented a few slides about the SUPA demonstration his
group would be presenting at Bits'n'Bites on Thursday evening.

The meeting ended at 1445.
