Hi,

I have been selected as the Operational Directorate (opsdir) reviewer for this Internet-Draft. 

The Operational Directorate reviews all operational and management-related Internet-Drafts to ensure alignment with operational best practices and that adequate operational considerations are covered.

A complete set of _"Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications"_ can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-rfc5706bis/.

While these comments are primarily for the Operations and Management Area Directors (Ops ADs), the authors should consider them alongside other feedback received.

## Summary 

This draft defines the "ietf-yang-library-augmentedby" YANG module. It fills a 
gap in RFC 8525 that only specifies the deviations YANG module but omits the 
augmented-by YANG module.
Generally speaking this draft is a well-written YANG document, while it still has 
some minor issues and nits that should be considered prior to publication.

## General Operational Comments Alignment with RFC 5706bis 

This draft has contained an individual "Operational Considerations" section as 
required by RFC 5706bis. Although the content in this section appears a bit thin, 
as a YANG document that's acceptable for me.

---

## Major Issues 

No major issues found.

---

## Minor Issues 

A new sub-section "Requirements Language" should be separated from but not merging 
with "Terminology" sub-section.

From the contents I don't see clear distinction between the Introduction section and 
the Motivation section, and there are some overlaps, so the authors may consider 
merging the two sections. 

---

## Nits 

Section 1, s/about the data model supported by the server/about the data models supported 
by the server. 

Section 1, it says "One specific limitation..." and "a similar restriction...". It 
seems to me not a limitation or restriction but a requirement.

Section 1 and section 5, s/the modules and the augmented-by modules/the base modules 
and the augmented-by modules.

Section 4, change yang-library/module-state to yang-library/modules-state

Section 4, NMDA needs expansion when first used.
