Technical Summary

   This document defines a generic geographical location object YANG
   grouping.  The geographical location grouping is intended to be used
   in YANG models for specifying a location on or in reference to Earth
   or any other astronomical object.

Working Group Summary

   There were no noteworthy WG process issues.  Controversial points were resolved.  No items had particularly rough consensus.

Document Quality

   There are no known implementations known to the Shepherd.  No vendors have indicated their plan to implement the specification.  It was originally forwarded to support DT's Terra Stream project

   The draft had additional review by non-IETF experts Ben Koziol and Jim Biard, and I would like to thank them for them help in reviewing the technical aspects of this YANG model.
