  - role of notifications within netconf
  - relationship to syslog and snmp notifications
  - scaling issues
  - security issues (session vs. signed msg, etc.)
  - standard RPC methods vs. new RPC methods
  - agent resource vs. NMS resource issues

- Use within Sessions

  - endless RPC
  - mixed-mode (rpc operations and notifications)
  - single vs. multiple subscriptions within a single session


- Transport Specific Support

  - use of channels (ssh, beep, what about soap?)
  - callhome support for agent initiated sessions

- Agent Notification Configuration and Control Mechanism

  - config-data vs. subscription-data
  - RPCs used to configure and control agent notification generation

- Notification Event Classes

  - WG consensus on specific list
  - Guidelines for selecting classifications

- Notification Filtering

  - Configuration mechanism(s)
  - Agent processing model

- Notification Header Content

  - Syntax and semantics of data included in all notifications

- Standard Notification Content

  - WG consensus on 0 or more fully-specified standard notifications
  - Full syntax and semantics of each standard notification

- Read-only (monitoring) data for agent notification activity

- Access Control Issues

- Data Model and XSD Issues

  - Data model design
  - XSD correctness
  - Need for 'min-access' and 'max-access'

- Documentation Issues

  - Terminology
  - Inclusion of non-normative text
  - Document section order
  - Document clarity
