I saw the answer to Stephen's "what is GRASP" question in the Internet Review ballot, but I'm still not sure why it's necessary to say "ANIMA GRASP" in this charter. For the parallel case in CORE, the WG name is provided, but no detail beyond that. If I knew what GRASP was without having to look back at Stephen's ballot thread, I wouldn't mention this, of course ... but I wonder how many other readers will have to look it up, too!

Thanks to all who educated me, in the different email threads.

- Moving back to a COMMENT at this point in time.
As Alexey mentioned, some more wording about this in the charter would help (if nobody else, at least me):

    I am Ok with having some text in CDDL saying that if you want to do
    modeling-driven device management, CDDL is not the right tool. But as I
    said above I see other uses for CBOR/CDDL, which should be allowed.

In the end, I missed the key message that CDDL is more helpful for horizontal protocol to support device-to-device communication, as opposed to a management protocol. I've been probably too biased by my OPS background :-)

OLD:

Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR, RFC 7049) extends the
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON, RFC 7159) data model to include binary data
and an extensibility model

NEW:
Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR, RFC 7049) extends the
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON, RFC 7159) data interchange format to include binary data
and an extensibility model

Note: 
- In OPS, we make a clear distinction between the (YANG) data model, and the encoding (XML, JSON, etc.)
- RFC 7159 mentions "data interchange format" in his abstract
- I see in RFC 7049:
   The format defined here follows some specific design goals that are
   not well met by current formats.  The underlying data model is an
   extended version of the JSON data model [RFC4627]. 
This is a mistake. Great we will have a new charter to accomplish this work

- And don't forget the milestones.

Regards, Benoit
