Hello Netconf WG,

We have recently posted new revisions to draft-ietf-netconf-yang-push (Subscribing to YANG datastore push updates), draft-ietf-netconf-subscribed-notifications (Custom subscription to event notifications), and draft-ietf-netconf-netconf-event-notifications (NETCONF support for event notifications).

We believe that those drafts, as well as draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-notif (Restconf and HTTP transport for event notifications),  are ready for Working Group Last Call - all issues that had been raised regarding those drafts have been worked through and closed.  We think that together, the drafts present a coherent "package" that provides comprehensive subscription services to event notifications and to datastore updates, along with two transports (since the subscription services are defined in a transport-independent fashion).

(On a separate note, there are two other individual drafts that are related to this package:

-          Draft-voit-netconf-notification-messages defines a set of extensions to define transport message header objects that allow to bundle messages across events and subscriptions.

-          draft-zheng-netconf-udp-pub-channel defines a binary UDP publication channel that can be used to stream telemetry, and to manage "distributed" subscriptions with multiple telemetry streams, such as from different line cards.   (Those are in fact two separate concerns.)
For those, we will be seeking for WG adoption.  However, probably the top priority right now as far is to go to WGLC and get done with the other drafts.)

Thoughts? Comments?
