Technical Summary
This document defines a mechanism for allowing interested subscribers to subscribe and receive a stream of events being sent by a publisher. A corresponding YANG data model for controlling of this functionality is also defined. Subscribe notifications form a more generic event distribution mechanism than previously defined in RFC5277.

WG reached consensus on the document without singling out any specific topics that were significantly controversial. The industry interest appears to be in dynamic subscriptions, and therefore configured subscriptions have been more questioned whether they should be supported too. Shepherd writeup contains more details on the decisions and results.
