The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Generic YANG Data Model for the Management of Operations,
   Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Protocols that use
   Connectionless Communications'
  (draft-ietf-lime-yang-connectionless-oam-18.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Layer Independent OAM Management in the
Multi-Layer Environment Working Group.

Technical Summary

   This document presents a base YANG Data model for connectionless
   Operations Administration, and Maintenance(OAM) protocols.  It
   provides a technology-independent abstraction of key OAM constructs
   for connectionless protocols.  

Working Group Summary

  This document is the product of an early split of LIME YANG
  Models into Connection-Oriented (C-O) OAM Models and 
  Connectionless (CL, i.e., this) OAM Models. Further, the 
  CL Model is further split into the Model (this document)
  and the retrieval methods (adjunct document).

Document Quality

  There are plans of and implementations of this specification.
  This includes at least two different implementations of
  the model, as well as product and demos at Bits-n-Bytes.
  Further, there are plans to finalize the implementation of 
  this specification.

  The WG was very active in reviewing these documents. 
  Notably, participants of the BFD and MPLS WGs were
  special reviewers. 

  Additionally, worth mentioning Carl Moberg's YANG
  Doctor review which resulted in many fixes and
  improvements.
