    • Important comments:

      • CNTT began as operators felt they did not have a voice in OPNFV

      • CIRV is an effort to integrate CNTT into OPNFV, thus CIRV will been considered if merging is a valid option

      • CNTT work is important as a long term initiative, and the work must be successful if both OPNFV and CNTT are to succeed

      • ISSUE: LFN Gov Brd will consider Staffing due to downward pressures

      • ISSUE: Technical Resourcing will need to be addressed regardless of the option selected

      • ISSUE: Governance of the merged community should be restructured to address ensuring CNTT work - thus new charter, TOR, Etc. for merged community will be necessary

    • DECISION: Provided the proposal addresses issues above, Merging CNTT into OPNFV is a viable option. Only one dissent
