In addition to what Med has already mentioned, here are a couple of things to 
watch out for.

- An update to the currently published draft on VELOCE - 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mahesh-opsawg-veloce-yang/. The update 
will take into consideration the discussion on the [email protected] mailing list 
as well as the discussion in IETF 125. If you have comments, start a new thread 
on the opsawg mailing list to discuss the draft or open a issue or PR at 
https://github.com/mjethanandani/veloce
- A meeting will be set up to meet regularly to discuss the process-level 
issues as they relate to VELOCE.

Thanks.
