How to organize the workstreams?

• Perfer to be spammed for all meetings... so I can pick chose which to attend.
• Difficult to split into single projects - getting more email is better because of the overlap between projects
• Tag the subject line on key topics
• Until volume is understood, please spam

Decision: start with spamming for all topics and adjust

Meeting cadence

• Every other week?
• bi-weekly is a good initial cadence
• Get agenda early 

Decision: Start with bi-weekly

Meeting time slot:

• Asia PAC/US time slots (rotate time of meeting)
• Could go back an hour early OR rotate?
• Prefer a single time slot to avoid repeating topics - hard to get decisions
• Do decisions email/wiki

•  ACTION:  Former user (Deleted) Jim Baker  doodle poll for meeting time within 24 hours

Communications:

Please email topics to Jim/Phil

Topics brainstorm:

• How to interact with other orchestrators - which protocols to leverage to facilitate
• Containerization of NwServices and security of the same
• On-boarding common NFVI, onboard VNF
• What are the gaps in making deployment difficult: training, other things that are friction in deployments
• Ask members to give short talks on what they have been doing and reveal shortfalls
• Closed meetings?- suggest open so that TSC can attend and hear first hand feedback? 
  • DECISION: Open meetings
• Conflicting requirements - could be very technical - albeit value is cross-functional
• Acceleration interfaces - want an open interface
• Get understand of multi-SDN projects - where they overlap
• "Why are there 17 orchestrators" - common architectural facets - platform oriented vs. service oriented architectures (resource model) same with policy
• Containerization of NFVs - overview and discussion
• VNF onboarding - standardize vis a vis accelerators and cloud native
• OVP program and prioirities
