Re: [Panic] Scope Draft is Available

[Robert Moskowitz <[e-mail]>]

I have reviewed this version and it is much better.

Besides NETCONF, rfc6241, there is RESTCONF, rfc8040.  And there is the 
event notification rfc (5277) and draft.

Perhaps verbage to work with the NETCONF wg is appropriate and invite 
them to the session?

Finally sent 2 in the Intro is too long to read well (58 words!). It 
should be presented as a list for readablity.

Other than these points, I think we are ready to start filling in the 
blanks.
