We're remiss in getting our charter updated, and I believe Sue and I will be
discussing that this afternoon.  There had been a decision middle of last
year that we would be pursuing yang as our modeling language and
netconf/restconf as our protocol.  Recent analysis of the suitability of
netconf for our use cases has shown it's not the best fit and we appear to
be moving to restconf.

We wouldn't rewrite BGP into yang.  We'd write yang modules for managing
I2RS behaviors for BGP.  In some cases, these may involve extending the yang
modules for BGP that are maintained by other groups such as IDR.

I think your comment is confused, but please also see the discussion on
[email protected] regarding a third RTG area director. :-)
