Subject: [Netconf] FW: Developing Call-Home for the SSH and TLS transport bindings - New Charter text

Dear Netconf WG,

the co-chairs proposed a draft charter text to realize the call-home mechanism for the SSH and TLS bindings, as concluded in the IETF #86 meeting. We did not get any substantial arguments against. Also, an attempt to discuss on the priority of other issues in the queue did not bring any new perspective.

Based on this the co-chairs think that the WG should proceed, following the discussion in the IETF #86, with the development of the call-home mechanism for the SSH and TLS bindings. We now will do slight changes to the milestones and give the proposed charter to our AD to initiate the approval.

Concerning the Netconf RFC advancement, we did not get volunteers to co-author a deployment report and the number of deployment reports received so far seems very thin to ask for advancement based on "wide deployment" at this point in time. We therefore suggest to exclude this point from the charter for the time being. It can be revived if things change hopefully soon.

Bert & Mehmet

>   In the current phase of NETCONF's incremental development the workgroup
>   will focus on following items:
> 
>   1. Add call home mechanism for the mandatory SSH binding providing a
>   server-initiated session establishment.
> 
>   2. Advance NETCONF over TLS to be in-line with NETCONF 1.1 (i.e., update
>   RFC 5539) and add the call home mechanism to provide a server-initiated
>   session establishment.
> 
>   3. Based on the implementation, deployment experience and
>   interoperability testing, the WG will produce a NETCONF status report.
>   The result may be clarifications for RFC6241 and RFC6242 and addressing
>   any reported errata.
> 
> Goals and Milestones:
>   Done     - WG Last Call on rfc4741bis

>   Done     - rfc4741bis to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard
>   Done     - Send rfc4742bis to IESG for consideration as proposed Standard
>   Done     - first WG draft (rev 00) on NETCONF specific YANG modules posted
>   Done     - WGLC for NACM document
>   Done     - WGLC for NETCONF specific notifications document
