IVY

Summary

The IVY working group met to address immediate operational items. Key discussions focused on resolving issues with meeting invitations, successfully migrating the network-inventory-yang GitHub repository to the IVY working group organization, and transferring all relevant open issues. The meeting also confirmed plans for the upcoming 00 draft submission and refined the process for future meeting invitations.

Key Discussion Points

Meeting Invitation Challenges: Several participants, including a co-chair, experienced issues with calendar invitations not updating automatically or integrating correctly, leading to low attendance at the start of the meeting.
GitHub Repository Migration: The network-inventory-yang GitHub repository, previously hosted under Sergio's account and the C-CAMP organization, was successfully transferred to the IVY working group's GitHub organization. This involved granting appropriate ownership and membership roles (Italo, Oscar) to facilitate the transfer process.
Issue Transfer and Consolidation: All 30 open issues pertaining to the base model from the previous context (SEC draft) were successfully transferred and are now tracked within the newly migrated IVY network-inventory-yang repository. The old, duplicate repository was subsequently removed.
Repository Naming Convention: The repository name was adjusted to align with IETF guidelines, removing "draft-ietf-ivy" as implicit when hosted within the IVY working group's GitHub organization.
Improved Invitation Process: A more reliable method for distributing calendar invitations via the IVY working group page on the IETF website was demonstrated and verified, which correctly adds the event to participants' existing calendars rather than creating new ones. Sergio sent a test invitation to the mailing list, which several participants confirmed appeared correctly.
Meeting Schedule Clarification: Confusion regarding multiple invitations for January 10th (a weekly call versus the interim meeting) was discussed. Italo confirmed he would cancel the conflicting design team call.
