  1. current suitable labs for RI implementation within OPNFV
  2. PDF and SDF updates to fit into CNTT RA's requirement (need collaboration with Infra WG within OPNFV)

  1. Work with Installer project ( currently only Airship) for the first RI code development, make sure it meet the need from CNTT, and get alliance with RI requirement
  2. work with testing projects (functest et al) for the compliance testing code development.
Walk-on Items (by @Michael Fix)
1. CNTT Jan 2020 Release: CNTT Snezka
2. CNTT-RI (OPNFV) Project name change: Common Infrastructure Realization & Validation (CIRV)
  - Discussed the name change.
  - No concerns.
  - Questions arose re: the need for "Common Infra" being included in the name, which was logically chosen to denote the targeted focus of supporting the implementation of a "Common Infrastructure", building upon the CNTT RA delivery.
