Thanks, Qin.  I re-read this latest draft, and albeit there were only a few changes, I have some broader comments.

First, I remember we talked about a reboot operation I think at the last IETF(?).  It was said that perhaps a reboot would happen as part of this RPC because once the <running> datastore is reset to factory-default, the device would not be reachable.  I don’t know where we landed on that.  However, I think some attention should be paid to things like zero-touch provisioning.  If I reset to factory-default, I would expect the device to undergo any out-of-the-box bootstrapping.  Perhaps adding some text that after the RPC is executed, the device SHOULD perform any initial bootstrapping processes?

===

In Section 2, perhaps for clarity say that, “Factory-default content SHALL be specified by one of the following means in descending order of precedence”?  I’m nit-picking on this one, though.

===

In Section 2, you mention Instance Data is second in the list.  What is really meant by this?  Does that mean the factory-default config is defined by an instance data file specified by the vendor in some offline location?  If so, perhaps it’s worth clarifying that.

===

In Section 2 and in the YANG module description for the RPC your tenses don’t match.  You should say:

Upon receiving the RPC the server resets the contents of all read-write configuration datastore (e.g., <running> and <startup>) to their factory-default contents.

===

In Section 2, you say, “some of the SW processes”.  I think you mean software.  You should expand SW.
