Dear Benoit, NETCONF WG,

below is a summary and action items from the NETCONF WG session on July 22, 2014, Toronto Canada.

- We had approx. 92(!!) participants in the 2 hour NETCONF session,
- We reviewed the status of the WG,
- We had a discussion on all 6 chartered documents.
- Note takers were: Dan Romascanu and Lada Lhotka. Many thanks for volunteering.

Chartered items:

1. Reverse Secure Shell (Reverse SSH) - K. Watsen
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-reverse-ssh
Issues discussed. Some of the issues will be taken to the list.

2. NETCONF Over TLS update - RFC 5539bis - J.  Schoenwaelder
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-rfc5539bis
Issues discussed. Some of the issues will be taken to the list.

3. A YANG Data Model for NETCONF Server Configuration - K. Watsen
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-server
Issues discussed.

The proposal to provide a I-D draft-ietf-netconf-call-home has been discussed. This draft would replace reverse-ssh and also clean up call home related part in 5539bis. Humming showed that the WG is in favor of this I-D. Based on this the co-chairs sent a consensus call to the WG list.
AI Co-chairs: Update charter if WG consensus is confirmed.

4. RESTCONF Protocol - A. Bierman
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-restconf
Issues discussed. Some of the issues will be taken to the list.

5. YANG Patch Media Type - A. Bierman
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-yang-patch
Issue discussed.

6. Zero Touch Provisioning for NETCONF Call Home (ZeroTouch) - K. Watsen
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-zerotouch
Issues discussed.

AI for the authors of the chartered items:
Please provide an update for your draft by September 1st.

Non-Chartered items:

1. I2RS Requirements on NETCONF - Jeff Haas
I2RS WG will provide a draft describing the requirements on NETCONF.
It has been proposed to start a discussion as early as possible to figure out whether single requirements can be already addressed with available NETCONF protocol features.
AI Jeff Haas: to get the I2RS WG  (plus any volunteers) to do this.

2. A NETCONF Extension for Data Fragmentation - G. Zheng
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-liu-netconf-fragmentation
Humming showed that the WG sees the issues as a valid problem. It needs to be discussed whether it can be addressed with a bis-draft. For the time being NETCONF charter will not be changed. Once active WG items are finalized the draft can be re-discussed.

3. Multi-Instances Configuration Issue in NETCONF - G. Yan
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-liu-netconf-multi-instances
The presenter has been proposed that he should check with the I2RS WG as they have similar issues to address.

Regards,
Mehmet & Bert
