YANG models are now being developed in 5 work areas: Common YANG, FAN, SDN/NFV, ATA and BUS. All models published by the Forum should be consistent and adhere to a common set of guidelines.
IETF have established a group of volunteers called the "YANG Doctors" which provide the following functions:
While voluntary, the process to becoming a YANG Doctor requires potential members to submit their qualifications which will be reviewed by the current members who make the final determination for admission.
OD-360 defines the "Best Current Practices for BBF YANG" and is maintained by the Common YANG Work Area.
The YANG Advisors are a group of volunteers responsible for reviewing YANG data models created within the Broadband Forum, ensuring consistency and adherence to OD-360. This group is overseen by the Common YANG Work Area Directors.
Membership criteria mimic what is done for the IETF YANG Doctors, requiring demonstration of an appropriate level of knowledge related to YANG and OD-360. Potential members will submit their qualifications, which will then be reviewed by the Common YANG Work Area Directors, who will make the final decision for admittance.
In order to create the initial group, member companies will be asked if they have any YANG experts who would like to join the group.
