The IESG has received a request from the Network Configuration WG (netconf) to consider the following document: - 'RESTCONF Extensions to Support the Network Management Datastore Architecture' <draft-ietf-netconf-nmda-restconf-04.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-07-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document extends the RESTCONF protocol defined in RFC 8040 in order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in RFC 8342. This document updates RFC 8040 by introducing new datastore resources, adding a new query parameter, and requiring the usage of I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis by RESTCONF servers implementing the Network Management Datastore Architecture. RFC Ed.: Please replace "I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis" above with its final RFC assignment and remove this note. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netconf-nmda-restconf/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netconf-nmda-restconf/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
