The charter for NETCONF WG includes ZTP, and this comes as a natural extension of that item. Every WG and draft has to address security considerations, which this draft tries to do, and the co-authors, who are security experts, have agreed to review the draft. Therefore, I feel that NETCONF WG would be a natural place for this draft to progress.
