Hi authors,
I have reviewed the latest draft, and think it's useful to specify the endpoint posture collection profile with a document in sacm WG.

My personal feeling is that this draft is very comprehensive and general, but does not go into depth in terms of protocol, interface, data model...
So, it's kind of design guidance, framework overview document, aiming to helping to specify more concrete ECP protocols/models. Is my understanding right?

In addition, I have some specific comments on current draft, as follow:

1.       Is it going to be a Standard Track draft? Since I see you mentioned in the abstract it mainly describes the best practices, maybe an Informational draft is more suitable?



2.       What is the relation of the ECP with the SACM architecture? ECP is one component of the large SACM architecture, or is using the SACM architecture, or part of it?



3.       In Figure 1, can the Endpoint support the pub/sub interaction with the Orchestrator?



4.       I think the term NETMOD is not suitable in this document, since NETMOD (WG) is mainly about the various models definition. NETCONF is better for expressing the whole network devices management protocol.
