Notes:

Recording and minutes concerns/discussion @Gerald Kunzmann  

  • Became aware of recordings but was unaware of previous discussion.

  • Concern: May hinder honest exchange - or less open

  • Even private zoom chat conversations sent to the host will become part of the public record

  • Phil: We can choose the keep the sessions closed. Let's have a brief discussion

  • Meeting minutes (OPNFV) were public, but meetings were not recorded.

    • Beth - like recordings as can't always attend

  • Please request more private sessions OR ask to suspend recording

EUAG service orchestrator survey comments @Former user (Deleted)

  • Ryan: More than one response per company? Yes, no more than 3 per company.

  • Al: Is the question about VNF managers explicit with the ETSI definition?

    • Beth - any VNF manager

    • Gerald - used the ETSI definition

    • Ryan - interpret as ETSI compliance VNFM

    • Gerald - be more precise on questions

  • Separate the questions: NFVO/VNFM which interoperate/merge into ONAP

  • Beth - just what we need - another stand alone system in the organization

  • Al - OSS functions will look similar across operators - without planning evolution, we're creating another legacy layer

  • Beth - Verizon built their own system, it's about 40 years old and showing it's age

  • Al - What is the take away? What was the objective and what was the result?

    • Phil - How much compatibility with the ETSI are required. Two parallel approaches: APPC vs VFC - with the latter driving for full ETSI compliance. Results: there is a significant portion of the operators that seek ETSI compliance.

    • Beth - Shows ETSI and ONAP are on the right path

    • Ryan - ETSI compliance important for some portion of the ONAP participants. Others, not so much.

Compliance and Verification Program Survey and OVP beta program @Heather Kirksey

  • Would like to perform a survey then followup in smaller groups - specific question about willingness to engage in focus group

  • Heat vendors may be over represented - welcome more feedback from TOSCA based environments

  • Al Blackburn will help correlate some additional feedbacks
