# Document Shepherd Write-Up for Group Documents

*This version is dated 4 July 2022.*

Thank you for your service as a document shepherd. Among the responsibilities is
answering the questions in this write-up to give helpful context to Last Call
and Internet Engineering Steering Group ([IESG][1]) reviewers, and your
diligence in completing it is appreciated. The full role of the shepherd is
further described in [RFC 4858][2]. You will need the cooperation of the authors
and editors to complete these checks.

Note that some numbered items contain multiple related questions; please be sure
to answer all of them.

## Document History

1. Does the working group (WG) consensus represent the strong concurrence of a
   few individuals, with others being silent, or did it reach broad agreement?
   
   This draft was last called in April 12 and the last call was extended one more week and received a good reviews from Joe Clarke, Carsten Bormann,Tome Petch. These reviews stand
   for strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent. This draft also
   acknowledged 4 people for valuable review.

2. Was there controversy about particular points, or were there decisions where
   the consensus was particularly rough?
   
   No Controversy.
   
3. Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If
   so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
   responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
   questionnaire is publicly available.)

   No.
   
4. For protocol documents, are there existing implementations of the contents of
   the document? Have a significant number of potential implementers indicated
   plans to implement? Are any existing implementations reported somewhere,
   either in the document itself (as [RFC 7942][3] recommends) or elsewhere
   (where)?

   I haven't heard any existing implementations of the contents of this draft.
   
## Additional Reviews

5. Do the contents of this document closely interact with technologies in other
   IETF working groups or external organizations, and would it therefore benefit
   from their review? Have those reviews occurred? If yes, describe which
   reviews took place.
   
   This draft has closely interact with SBOM technologies developed by NTIA Multistakeholder process on Software Component Transparency Framing Working Group.
   It was agreed to remove SWID and add CycloneDX to improve interoperability.


6. Describe how the document meets any required formal expert review criteria,
   such as the MIB Doctor, YANG Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
   
   A YANG Doctor review has been carried out by Ebben Aries which can
   be found in the datatracker.

7. If the document contains a YANG module, has the final version of the module
   been checked with any of the [recommended validation tools][4] for syntax and
   formatting validation? If there are any resulting errors or warnings, what is
   the justification for not fixing them at this time? Does the YANG module
   comply with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as specified
   in [RFC 8342][5]?

   The PYANG compilation tool in the datatracker shows no errors and warnings
   in YANG. Yes, the YANG module complies with the NMDA architecture.
   
8. Describe reviews and automated checks performed to validate sections of the
   final version of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code,
   BNF rules, MIB definitions, CBOR's CDDL, etc.

   xml2rfc ietf tool and rfcfold, pyang,yanglint automation tools have been
   installed to validate sections of the final version of the document
   including example snippets. These tools show no errors and warnings in the
   document.
   
## Document Shepherd Checks

9. Based on the shepherd's review of the document, is it their opinion that this
   document is needed, clearly written, complete, correctly designed, and ready
   to be handed off to the responsible Area Director?
   
   The document shepherd reviewed this document in more details during WGLC and
   after WGLC and author of this document has addressed all the comments. Yes,
   this document is clearly written, it can be see seen one useful companion document 
   triggered by supply chain transparency effort.

10. Several IETF Areas have assembled [lists of common issues that their
    reviewers encounter][6]. For which areas have such issues been identified
    and addressed? For which does this still need to happen in subsequent
    reviews?
	
   This draft received YANG Doctor early review, OPSDIR review, GENART review, SECDIR review,
   all comments from these have been well discussed on the opsawg mailing list and addressed 
   in the latest version.  
   
11. What type of RFC publication is being requested on the IETF stream ([Best
    Current Practice][12], [Proposed Standard, Internet Standard][13],
    [Informational, Experimental or Historic][14])? Why is this the proper type
    of RFC? Do all Datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this intent?
	
    The type of RFC publication being requested on the IETF stream is proposed
    standard. It is appropriate for a YANG model that extends IETF MUD model work [RFC8520]. 
    Yes, the datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this
    intent.

12. Have reasonable efforts been made to remind all authors of the intellectual
    property rights (IPR) disclosure obligations described in [BCP 79][7]? To
    the best of your knowledge, have all required disclosures been filed? If
    not, explain why. If yes, summarize any relevant discussion, including links
    to publicly-available messages when applicable.
	
    WG chairs requested authors to confirm conformance with the
    BCP 78 and BCP 79 on 2022-05-01, which can be found at:
    https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/jTsbEhL3jYKpDdCSv5fPrcJoosw/
    The author of this document also confirmed again that there is no IPR
    related to this document on 2022-06-10, which can be found at:
    https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/jNgoILCz-joa5z79nThfPDO7tHM/

13. Has each author, editor, and contributor shown their willingness to be
    listed as such? If the total number of authors and editors on the front page
    is greater than five, please provide a justification.
	
    There is two authors for this document. Both are willing to be listed as authors.

14. Document any remaining I-D nits in this document. Simply running the [idnits
    tool][8] is not enough; please review the ["Content Guidelines" on
    authors.ietf.org][15]. (Also note that the current idnits tool generates
    some incorrect warnings; a rewrite is underway.)
	
   idnits tool flags no issues and warnings. Everything looks fine after reading
   the content guidelines on author.ietf.org.

15. Should any informative references be normative or vice-versa? See the [IESG
    Statement on Normative and Informative References][16].
	
	None.
	
16. List any normative references that are not freely available to anyone. Did
    the community have sufficient access to review any such normative
    references?

    All normative references are freely available to anyone.
	
17. Are there any normative downward references (see [RFC 3967][9] and [BCP
    97][10]) that are not already listed in the [DOWNREF registry][17]? If so,
    list them.
   
    None.
	
18. Are there normative references to documents that are not ready to be
    submitted to the IESG for publication or are otherwise in an unclear state?
    If so, what is the plan for their completion?
	
    None.

19. Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? If
    so, does the Datatracker metadata correctly reflect this and are those RFCs
    listed on the title page, in the abstract, and discussed in the
    introduction? If not, explain why and point to the part of the document
    where the relationship of this document to these other RFCs is discussed.
	
    No change to any existing RFCs. The YANG model defined in this document just
    imports module defined in RFC8520 which are normative references.

20. Describe the document shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
    especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document.
    Confirm that all aspects of the document requiring IANA assignments are
    associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm
    that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm
    that each newly created IANA registry specifies its initial contents,
    allocations procedures, and a reasonable name (see [RFC 8126][11]).
	
    The document shepherd has reviewed IANA considerations section and confirm
    two new YANG registries, one MUD extension, one Well-Known Prefix registries are correctly specified and consistent with the body of
    this document.The referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified.

21. List any new IANA registries that require Designated Expert Review for
    future allocations. Are the instructions to the Designated Expert clear?
    Please include suggestions of designated experts, if appropriate.
    
    None.
