Updated Proposed update to Netconf Charter

["Sharon Chisholm" <schishol@nortel.com>]

hi

Here is the updated proposed charter extension for phase 2. I have split
access control out from the data model framework and have added a couple
items that people have mentioned. Obviously some of this will need to
get deferred to phase 3, in the absence of infinite resources.

"Additional phase 2 work including:

- Requirements and Guidelines for defining Netconf data models to enable
interoperable, netconf implementations. Requirements will be defined
around specification language,  compliance, backwards compatibility,
depicting relationships, event specification, and application error
message specification.

- Framework for netconf access control. This access control mechanism
should consider integration with existing deployed solutions. It should
define a common authentication scheme.

- An initial set of application-level re-usable data types such as IP
Addresses, MAC addresses, etc. This definition would be compliant to the
above defined requirements and guidelines for Netconf content.

- A concrete data model (XML Schema) for reporting information about the
Netconf system. This definition would be compliant to the above defined
requirements and guidelines for Netconf content.

- A netconf protocol specification for asynchronous messaging to enable
the sending of event messages. This must preserve the netconf layers."

- A method of delivering software loads over netconf.

- A method of supporting multi-channels.
