Open meetings? @Kenny Paul

• Concerns were raised a couple weeks ago that because EUAG meetings are public  it may be inhibiting open communications among the operators. 

• Polling the membership on the topic is appropriate

Telstra priorities - @Nishi Mathur

3 use cases 

1. ONAP as a "third party" operational domain manager (Operational Domain Manager) Frankfurt

   1. Use ONAP as the management tool for the National Broadband Network (fixed broadband env)

   2. ONAP consume service definition from NBN

   3. Complete lifecycle management of third party services via ONAP

   4. ONAP consume domain specific APIs - impact on SDC and ExtAPI 

2. ONAP as "VNF" Operational Domain Manager

   1. On-board VNFs/manage complete lifecycle

   2. ?Is there an interest in combining multiple orchestrators?

      1. ONAP needs to co-exist with other managers
