Dear Benoit, NETCONF WG,
 
Below is a summary and action items from the NETCONF WG session on November 5, 2015 in Yokohama, Japan.
 
- We had approx. 70 participants in the 2 hour NETCONF session,
- We reviewed the status of the WG,
- We had a discussion on 8 chartered and 2 non-chartered documents, and the I2RS strawman protocol.
 
- Many thanks to the note takers via Etherpad and the jabber scribe.
Etherpad notes are at: http://etherpad.tools.ietf.org:9000/p/netconf-94
 
The session agenda is available at: https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/agenda/agenda-94-netconf
 
Following is a summary of the discussion and the decisions taken per show of hands.
 
This mail is at the same time to verify the discussion result and decisions from the IETF 94 NETCONF session. If there is no strong objection we will act or implement as discussed.
 
- There is no objection to publish the process described in draft-leiba-netmod-regpolicy-update. It’ll be AD sponsored.
 
- Sue Hares gave a summary on the I2RS strawman proposal. As a next step I2RS and NETCONF co-chairs will have a call and discuss further development.
 
- draft-ietf-netconf-yang-push had good progress. The draft has a dependency on 5277bis and needs to reference it instead of redefining some parts. Currently nobody is working on 5277bis.
 
- RESTCONF Protocol, YANG Patch Media Type, YANG Module Library:
The three drafts will go to WGLC together. RESTCONF has 1 open and 1 new issue. No questions and comments on YANG Patch Media Type. Open issues for YANG library need to be discussed on the mailing list. RESTCONF has a dependency on YANG 1.1 and YANG 1.1 depends on YANG library. The plan is to finish YANG 1.1 by December 1st.
 
- Server Configuration Model has the big issue with key chains to address. Kent is working together with SAAG. Conclusion that splitting into two parts is not helpful. This will take some time to finalize.
 
- Zero Touch Provisioning has now the support of ANIMA WG and can be finalized soon. There are diverse operators who would like to implement and use.
 
- The non-chartered draft on Restconf subscription and HTTP push presented. Discussion on merging with netconf-yang-push or keep it separate will continue. A third option is to have a 3rd draft on the common part. Document organization will be discussed on the mailing list. The charter definition covers this work. Based on show of hands, people in the room are in favor of doing this work, many in favor, nobody against. Once the document organization is agreed draft will be adopted as WG item. 
 
Regards, 
Mehmet & Mahesh
