Technical Summary

   This document defines common types and groupings that are meant to be
   used for scheduling purposes such as event, policy, services, or
   resources based on date and time.  For the sake of better modularity,
   the YANG module includes a set of recurrence related groupings with
   varying levels of representation (i.e., from basic to advanced) to
   accommodate a variety of requirements.  It also defines groupings for
   validating requested schedules and reporting scheduling status.

Working Group Summary

   Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
   For example, was there controversy about particular points 
   or were there decisions where the consensus was
   particularly rough? 

While not a controversy per se, there was quite a bit of discussion around 
whether the YANG module should offer default values or make some statements 
mandatory. In the end, the WG decided against doing either, as it was not clear 
how the groupings might be used in an actual YANG module, and what impact it 
might have where that YANG module is used. Instead, guidance for default values 
is mentioned in the description statement.

Document Quality

   Are there existing implementations of the protocol?  Have a 
   significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
   implement the specification?  Are there any reviewers that
   merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
   e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
   conclusion that the document had no substantive issues?  If
   there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review,
   what was its course (briefly)?  In the case of a Media Type
   Review, on what date was the request posted?

The document defines a YANG module, and a YANG doctor's review was performed. 
Comments from that review were incorporated into the document. Since the 
document only defines groupings, it is ultimately other YANG modules that use 
these groupings that will need to be implemented. There are no known YANG 
modules that are known to use these groupings.
