The draft is very confusing.  We already have NETCONF/RESTCONF. What 
does PANIC provide that these do not?

I am ASSuMEing that there is a need of more than the NETCONF/RESTCONF 
data model and protocol(s).  This needs to be spelled out.

Is PANIC in competition with NETCONF/RESTCONF?
Is PANIC a bolt-on to NETCONF/RESTCONF?
Is PANIC totally orthogonal to NETCONF/RESTCONF?

It seems that the meeting we had in Chicago pointed that it woud deal 
with data not included in the NETCONF/RESTCONF data model.  It would 
have specific security posture implecations whereas NETCONF/RESTCONF is 
more focused on the running of infrastructure gear.

Can we get this into the draft before Prague?

At the side meeting on March 29th, we started discussing the problem of how to measure the health of network devices. We discussed the need to collect posture information from network devices to support asset, software, vulnerability, and configuration management use cases. We were asked by the group to share a more detailed description of the intended scope for the PANIC effort. The follow draft is an attempt to do so:
