Agenda

  • We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Action items

Minutes

CNTI Planning

  • Olaf Renner (Nokia) discussed migration of CNCF assets.

  • A discussion ensued about if we should be making the CNTI a standalone project under the LFN, or if it would be a "Committee" or "Working Group".  A clear leaning towards forming a Project was heard from the community.  The goal is to ensure that we can wrap governance around the projects to clearly set their scope. 

  • Olivier Smith (Deactivated) presented a health status update to the TAC

  • Olivier Smith (Deactivated) requesting a CSP Representative to help co-chair CNTI.  The ideal representative has a strong interest to help define cloud native networking certifications.

L3AF Project Status

  • LJ Illuzzi spoke about the resources for the L3AF Project.
