Status of pending drafts:

- draft-bierman-netconf-efficiency-extensions

- draft-varga-netconf-exi-capability

- draft-fa-netconf-dhcpv6-option

- draft-mm-netconf-time-capability

This part had to be skipped. However the co-chairs would like to recommend to submit a revision and stimulate a discussion on the maillist, if the authors want to follow up.

Others on the maillist are also welcome to stimulate discussion if they believe this is worth pursuing in the WG.
