Hi Kent,

> We do, however, have a "YANG Next" discussion on the agenda, which may or may not lead to the creation of a milestone for it.
It would be good to extend the charter proposal after this discussion with agreed goals for 7950bis.
We also need to know what exactly is going to be separated from 7950. E.g. one of the topics we discussed on the maillist was guidance on using YANG with specific protocols. This can be done in the protocol document.

> > > > >>>>>>>    Oct 2017 - Submit draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores
> > > > >>>>>>> to IESG
Another question is whether this should be earlier, e.g. August.
As it is a high-priority topic needed at least by 2 WGs, we were saying that revised-datastores should be finalized within 4 months and NC/RC-bis will take another 4-5 months.

Thanks,
Mehmet
