Re: [Netconf] Last Call: <draft-mm-netconf-time-capability-05.txt> (Time Capability in NETCONF) to Experimental RFC

Dan,

If you go into the archives of NETCONF and search for the draft, you will find 
some history on the draft.

It started by folks asking for questions and clarifications on the draft. Even 
after they were seemingly addressed, their was little or no support for 
adopting the draft into the WG both in IETF 92 and on the mailing list.

If you believe that there is a need for this work and able to get folks to 
review the draft and show support for it on the mailing list, the WG can relook 
at the draft. Making it experimental is always an option.

Cheers.

I find this work useful. 

I have two questions: 
- why was not this document adopted by the NETCONF WG? Lack of time, out of 
focus, or are there any other (technical?) reasons? Why did it had to go on 
AD-sponsored and Experimental track?
- This work may potentially be useful for LMAP which has scheduling and 
time-stamping features in its architecture and framework. LMAP however just 
selected RESTCONF as their preferred protocol. What would it take to extend 
this work to RESTCONF)? (may be another piece of work)

Thanks and Regards,

Dan

The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the
following document:
- 'Time Capability in NETCONF'
 <draft-mm-netconf-time-capability-05.txt> as Experimental RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2015-07-29. Exceptionally, 
comments may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the

Abstract


  This document defines a capability-based extension to the Network
  Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) that allows time-triggered
  configuration and management operations. This extension allows
  NETCONF clients to invoke configuration updates according to
  scheduled times, and allows NETCONF servers to attach timestamps to
  the data they send to NETCONF clients.


The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Capability URNs registry
requires a standards action in order to populate the registry. This document
was taken out of the ISE stream and brought forward as an AD sponsored
individual-submission to address this consideration.
