Subject: [sacm] IM Issue #30: Are reports out of scope for SACM and can they be removed from the Information Model?

Hi Everyone,

The SACM Information Model currently contains three sections related to reports: "Report", "Report Generator", and "Reporting Guidance". During IETF 94, we discussed whether or not reports were out-of-scope for SACM. This discussion was based on a question that was found in the text of the Information Model which said:

                    "ISSUE (CEK): Should we take modeling of reports out of scope?  It is clear that reports are needed.  But is a *standard* for reports needed, and does it deserve our priority?"

During the discussion, it was noted that reports are likely very organization specific which may make it difficult to standardize around and that standardizing reports is not explicitly called out in the charter.

In general, the group seemed to be leaning towards this and that the report-related sections should be removed.  With that said, I wanted to ping the list to get feedback from the rest of the group.

Does this change seem reasonable?  Are there any objections this change?

Please provide any feedback by Wednesday March 2nd.

Thanks,

Danny
