I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the operational area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.   Most use cases (except Section 4.9)  described in this draft are about end devices/applications management instead of network management.   From the  “network” perspective, the end devices and their corresponding Management systems are simply Addresses .  For some small devices that don’t have IP/MAC addresses, their corresponding Gateways are the “End Devices” to the network.   In another word, those small devices are managed by their corresponding management systems, which is completely out of “Network Management” domain. E.g. the management system for Environmental Monitoring devices is completely disjoint from the management systems for the  Bridges/road Monitoring, or Medical devices Monitoring devices.   I think that the draft would at least specify what aspects of network management is needed/recommended for each use case described. Intuitively, I can think of having a hook from network management system  to each corresponding devices/apps management systems.  The whole section 3 about life cycle of those devices is very much like cell phone activation/deactivation process from phone providers. What roles do network management play in this process?   Linda Dunbar
