NETCONF held the first meeting under its freshly approved new charter on Wednesday 5 December.
Bert Wijnen and Mehmet Ersue have been appointed new co-chairs of the NETCONF WG. They replace Andy Bierman and Simon Leinen, who had chaired the group since it was initially chartered.
In the near future, this Web page will probably be moved to a new service provided by the IETF Tools team and secretariat. Thanks a lot to Randy Bush, who has done an outstanding job hosting this Web page and the NETCONF mailing list for almost five years!
Based on feedback at the last IETF meeting, the following three submissions have been adopted as work items by the NETCONF WG:
The next revisions of these documents will be published under draft-ietf-netconf-... names.

The new NETCONF charter has been announced on the IETF-Announce list.
The proposed new WG charter has been posted to the NGO and IETF Announcements mailing lists. There is a one-week comment period (until 15 November).

The initial set of WG documents has been published by the RFC Editor as RFCs 4741-4744. See below for complete references.
A new mailing list has been created for discussions on Netconf-related work beyond the current charter. See the mailing list information page for subscription instructions and archive access.
The NETCONF WG met on Monday, 6 November 2006, between 17:40 and 19:50. The meeting was focused on the notifications document (draft-ietf-netconf-notification). Two sets of slides were used: administrativia and larger issues with the notifications draft by Simon Leinen, and Netconf Notifications (comprehensive issues list) by Sharon Chisholm.n Unfortunately there was no time left to discuss implementation expleriences with NETCONF over SOAP (see the slides by Tomoyuki Iijima).
Eliot Lear and Martin Swany kindly took (Jabber) notes, and official minutes will be published soon.
There was an ad-hoc meeting about data modeling issues on Tuesday 7 November between 15:15 and 19:40. Jabber notes exist for the first part of the meeting. One of the outcomes of the meeting was that it would be useful to see examples of data model descriptions using different formalisms (XML Schema, RelaxNG etc.). The suggestion was to use An Informal Management Model for Diffserv Routers (RFC 3290 as a basis, in particular configuration information for classifiers.
NETCONF held an interim meeting just after the IETF meeting in Montréal. The invitation/agenda and minutes can be found in the NETCONF mailing list archive.
NETCONF met at the 66th IETF meeting in Montreal on Friday, 14 July, 0900-1130, room 513B). Slides and minutes are now available in the IETF-66 Proceedings.
The initial group of four Working Group documents (base NETCONF protocol, NETCONF-over-SSH, NETCONF-over-BEEP, and NETCONF-over-SOAP) have been approved by the IESG. They have now entered the RFC Editor's queue.
The NETCONF WG met at the IETF meeting in Dallas, TX (USA). The minutes are now online.
The four working group documents were extensively reviewed by the IESG, and a few issues found during this evaluation will be addressed over the next couple of days, so expect all four documents to be revised very soon. There's a chance that the documents will be accepted in the next IESG teleconference on 16 March.
Our charter has been updated to include specific goals in the area of NETCONF notifications.
The minutes from the NETCONF WG meeting at the last IETF meeting in Paris are now available along with as well as other material such as slides.
The MOME EU project hosted an interoperability event for several protocols including NETCONF preceding the Paris IETF meeting. A report is now available as Deliverable D13 of the MOME project.
All four working group drafts have been submitted to the IESG for publication.
All current WG documents have been in Working Group Last Call since May 03. Please review the documents, and submit your comments to the NETCONF mailing list before March 18.
The minutes were added to the page about the NETCONF WG's meeting at IETF-62.
The NETCONF WG met in Minneapolis to discuss remaining open issues with the document set. The agenda, slides, and minutes can be found here.
All four WG documents were last-called for the second time. A few issues were uncovered, so there will be a third WG Last Call shortly after the IETF 62 meeting.
Please review the latest revisions of the NETCONF WG drafts! So far we only have a new SOAP mapping, but revisions of the other documents will appear soon. Please check the automatically updated drafts overview page regularily, as I won't always be able to update this page over the next weeks.
The minutes from the last NETCONF meeting at IETF 61 are available now.
The Working Group Last Call on the working group documents has ended. A few reviewers found several issues which still have to be addressed.
The NETCONF WG met at IETF61 for a two-hour slot on Thursday afternoon. Minor issues raised on the list since the WGLC were reviewed. Discussion in the room was concerned with which parts of the state data model (e.g. session-id) should be in the protocol document, and in how far the protocol document should address operational issues such as the safe use of locks for different operations. No issues have been raised on the three mapping documents (SSH, BEEP, SOAP).
Slides and minutes can be found on the NETCONF @IETF61 page.
As the meeting closed early, the room was then used for an informal discussion on data modeling issues related to NETCONF. This will be continued on Sharon Chisolm's Netconf Data Model mailing list.
The NETCONF WG met at the 60th IETF meeting in San Diego.
NEW: Minutes from IETF60 NETCONF Meeting
Slides from IETF60 NETCONF Meeting
In addition, there was a BOF on data modeling issues for netconf ("netmod").
The NETCONF WG had a two-hour meeting at the Seoul IETF meeting.
There is now a mailing list for the discussion of data modeling issues related to the NETCONF protocol. Information about the list can be found at http://standards.nortelnetworks.com/netconf/. There is now a mailing list archive, too.
Eliot Lear has given an update on NETCONF at the NANOG meeting in Miami, and solicited feedback on a few specific issues from the attendees. Slides and a video stream can be retrieved from the NANOG site.
We now have a Web-based Issues List to track the status of individual issues with the working group's documents. The list is maintained by Steve Waldbusser.
Simon Leinen has given a talk about NETCONF at the EOF (European Operators Forum) meeting at RIPE 47 in Amsterdam, in order to get feedback on current NETCONF issues from the operators there.
