I doubt that the text "The NETCONF WG recently finalized..." will age gracefully. Suggest s/recently finalized/published/

I agree with Spencer's comments.

Also, I have trouble suspending disbelief with those milestone dates. (Especially the ones in the past.) If those are real, it means the WG will be doing lots of work in parallel over the next couple of months. Is that reasonable?

Probably editorial comments on point 5:
- Maybe s/protocol-neutral/protocol-independent/
- And what's a transport message?

Regarding the milestones: 
- Is it correct that not all points listed are covered by milestones? Is that on purpose?
- Is it really needed to call out the WGLC as a separate milestones? I've seen wg adoption as milestones but WGLC seems close enough to he final publication/send to IESG that I don't think a separate milestone is actually valuable.

I have a few minor comments, but this looks clear and plausible.

In this text,

1. Finalize the YANG data module for a system-level keystore mechanism,
which can be used to hold asymmetric private keys and certificates that are
trusted by the system advertising support for this module. Based on the known
dependencies this draft has the highest priority for the WG. 

I thought it might be helpful to say who has these dependencies, not in detail, but just at the "other working groups", "other SDOs", "open source community", "all of the above" level.

I counted something like seven items that apply to both NETCONF and RESTCONF/HTTP2. Is the intention that these are two protocols that will continue to evolve, but in lockstep? I think you're headed that way, but I'm not sure. If so, saying that would be good.

For all the other RFCs listed in the charter, the name of the RFC is also provided (sometimes the name is in parens, other times the RFC number is in parens, but they're always together), except for RFC 5277 which is invoked without providing its name. Could you adjust the first mention of RFC 5277 to match the others?
